Director of Engineering Jobs

A Director of Engineering in the manufacturing engineering industry is primarily responsible for overseeing the development and implementation of engineering projects, strategies, and practices. They are the link between the senior management and the engineering team, ensuring that all projects align with the company's strategic goals. The Director of Engineering implements policies that promote efficiency and quality, manages resources, reduces costs, and ensures safety. They also play a key role in recruiting and training engineering staff, developing budgets, and establishing project timelines.

Important skills for a Director of Engineering include strong leadership, analytical thinking, problem-solving, project management, and excellent communication. They should also have extensive knowledge of engineering principles, processes, and technology relevant to the manufacturing industry. A strong background in automation and robotics can be beneficial. Some certifications, such as the Certified Manufacturing Engineer (CMfgE) or a Project Management Professional (PMP) certification, can be advantageous. Prior to becoming a Director of Engineering, an individual might serve in roles such as Senior Engineer, Project Manager, or even Engineering Manager.
