Project Engineer – Electrical & Lighting (Entry-Level; Engineering Degree req.) Description
Our client, a rapidly growing lighting manufacturer, is looking to add a new Project Engineer to their Team in Tinley Park, IL. Our client has had double-digit YoY growth and to keep up with business needs, they’ve created this new position to expand their engineering team. You’ll support product development efforts while overseeing projects from start to finish. These projects have shorter cycles, so you’ll typically oversee 5-10 simultaneously. You’ll spend most of your time verifying specifications and planning product roadmaps to drive projects forward. If you’re looking for a role with more design work and fabrication, this would not be a good fit. However, if you want to build your career in project management with an Engineering Manager who values autonomy and less micro-management, this could be a great fit. As long as you have foundational knowledge of electrical engineering, their Team will invest in getting you up to speed on lighting fundamentals so you can start owning projects from beginning to end. Ultimately, this is a great opportunity to build your career with a mix of engineering and project management with a culture-focused, flexible Team. Their Leadership Team understands you must treat your team right to have success. Their strong employee tenure is a testament to that culture. You’ll have the best of both worlds; versatility in your day to expand your scope of competency without compromising your work/life balance.
