Who YOU are and what YOU can become

We are seeking a proactive, highly organized Project Engineer to support the execution of multiple engineering and technology development projects within our Research & Development team.

Working closely with engineering leadership and technical team members, the Project Engineer will help drive day-to-day execution across multiple concurrent workstreams. You will focus on maintaining visibility of project progress, tracking actions and deliverables, coordinating activities, identifying emerging issues and dependencies, and helping ensure that project commitments are driven to closure.
