Overview
As an Operations Engineer, you will lead and manage the lifecycle of challenging cross-functional projects, developing and delivering the next generation of automation and material handling solutions. You are a customer-obsessed leader that will play an integral part in planning and implementation of the facility network infrastructure including new builds, retrofits, expansions and program initiatives. Partnering with internal customers and internal/external stakeholders to engage as a team and ensure a timely handover will be part of your critical tasks. You will work with some of the most talented engineers in the design, development, and delivery of physical distribution systems around the globe. You are responsible for managing a technology or integration project, successfully delivering the solution to meet project goals, potentially working with external equipment vendors, customers, or partners. You should have a solid understanding of the design approaches and industry technologies utilized in fulfillment and distribution center designs, manage the overall schedule, proactively mitigate risks, and keep the scope of engineering deliverables under control.
Responsibilities
Work independently with internal and external teams to successfully manage the lifecycle of challenging projects, acting as owner to deliver on project objectives and targets. Projects may span organizations or geographies in support of business objectives.
Actively participate in firm engineering reviews and influence proposed solutions at the system, component, architecture, and facility processes levels.
Partner with internal teams, stakeholders and external vendors to set project priorities, establish milestones, and drive schedules to meet deadlines. Proactively assess dependencies and milestones, problem-solve, and drive solutions to mitigate issues.
Lead and coordinate execution efforts in delivering system and automated equipment designs per established standards. Perform equipment/system installation, throughput and safety qualifications. Identify and remove bottlenecks and provide feedback while resolving difficult system problems.
Lead effective meetings with clear objectives, appropriate participants, and detailed business and technical discussions. Document discussions, decisions, and next steps to ensure alignment with internal partner teams and external vendors.
Communicate project status, risk analysis, and risk mitigation plans. Provide detailed answers to project questions and regular concise summaries for leadership/management.
Articulate system and equipment designs, including layouts, technical specifications and functional capabilities to internal customers and partner teams.
Support change order controls, purchase orders, and invoice validation/approvals.
Build strong working relationships with internal and external stakeholders across multiple projects.
Identify and lead process improvement initiatives to improve engineering and cross-team efficiencies, delivering high-quality, cost-effective solutions within compressed timelines.
Travel up to 75% domestically, with variable intensity and periods of multiple consecutive weeks, including weekends.
