Job Description
Project Engineer
Salford Farm Machinery was founded in 1978 by Jake Rozendaal, then a recent immigrant from Holland who had a degree in agriculture, with experience on his father’s farm and training as a mechanic and a welder. He seemed to be able to listen and quickly understand what farmers were trying to accomplish in the field. He would then design and create the machinery needed to accomplish the task.
Today, even though Salford is still based in the same location, the company has expanded from its humble roots. Salford has become a global company that markets machinery worldwide. In order to support their expanding distribution network of nearly 300 North American Salford dealers, and keep up with growing demand for their product, Salford has invested in a manufacturing facility in Osceola, Iowa; and multiple parts distribution centers in Canada, the United States and Russia.
Position/Duties
As a Project Engineer located at the Salford, Ontario Head Office under the direction of the Engineering Manager you will be directly involved in the overall technical coordination of design and development activities of projects and product development. You will assist in defining project goals and be responsible for accomplishing all design projects as outlined. This will be done by both a ‘hands on’ approach and coordinating with other Senior or Junior engineers to accomplish manufacturing drawings, parts manuals and other documentation pertaining to the product or project.
A Project Engineer will need to effectively coordinate product design information throughout the company. As such the Project Engineer will be required to be alert for situations that may disrupt production or cause specification changes and pass on that information so that other departments (ie. Purchasing, marketing, service etc.) can react in a timely manner.
The Project Engineer will lead design meetings with support from functional groups as required.
This is a well-rounded position with plenty of opportunities for personal and career growth.
Qualifications:
Accommodations may be requested in advance of the interview process. We appreciate your interest in our company and opening. Selected candidates only will be contacted. No phone calls please.
