Role summary

Carlisle is seeking a Mechanical Project Engineer to lead capital projects from concept to startup, transforming ideas into operational manufacturing equipment and systems. Responsibilities include scope development, funding requests, equipment specification and procurement, budget and schedule management, contractor coordination, installation, and commissioning. The role involves partnering with plant Engineering, Maintenance, Operations, and EH&S to solve technical challenges and improve manufacturing capabilities. Expertise in industrial projects involving manufacturing equipment, utilities, piping, instrumentation, and mechanical systems is required, along with troubleshooting, vendor evaluation, and specification development. A Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering and 5+ years of industrial/manufacturing experience are necessary.

Carlisle is seeking a Mechanical Project Engineer to join our Central Engineering team. This is an opportunity to lead capital projects that transform ideas into fully operational manufacturing equipment and systems across our growing organization.

As a Mechanical Project Engineer, you will own projects from concept through startup, including developing project scopes, preparing funding requests, specifying and procuring equipment, managing budgets and schedules, coordinating contractors, and supporting installation and commissioning. You'll partner closely with plant Engineering and Maintenance, Operations, EH&S, and leadership to identify technical challenges and deliver practical solutions that improve manufacturing capabilities.

You'll apply your mechanical engineering expertise to a wide range of industrial projects involving manufacturing equipment, utilities, piping, instrumentation, temperature control systems, and mechanical systems. You'll also troubleshoot existing equipment, evaluate vendor proposals, develop equipment and installation specifications, and provide technical support and training to plant personnel.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Lead capital projects from initial concept and scope development through installation, commissioning, and startup
  • Specify, evaluate, and procure manufacturing and process equipment
  • Develop project budgets, schedules, funding requests, and technical documentation
  • Coordinate contractors, vendors, plant maintenance, and engineering resources during project execution
  • Troubleshoot manufacturing equipment and systems and develop effective solutions
  • Develop equipment specifications, RFQs, and installation requirements
  • Build strong partnerships with plant teams and equipment suppliers
  • Provide technical guidance and training to Engineering, Maintenance, Operations, and EH&S teams
  • Travel to CCM facilities to support project planning, equipment installation, startups, commissioning, and training

Qualifications:

  • Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering or a related discipline
  • 5+ years of industrial or manufacturing experience in a mechanical engineering capacity
  • Experience with manufacturing equipment, construction, piping, utilities, and mechanical systems
  • Strong project management, communication, problem-solving, and organizational skills

This role is approximately 75% office-based and 25% travel. If you're ready to take ownership of major capital projects and see your engineering work come to life on the manufacturing floor, we'd love to hear from you.
