With a strong attention to detail and a passion for engineering and leadership, you will represent the company’s high standards, conducting yourself in a professional and positive manner.

These Engineering Shift Managers hold cross functional positions, having engineers from both departments report into them, and are also responsible for any contractor work being conducted in their department.
