About the Role
We're looking for a highly organized, execution-driven Project Engineer to support the delivery of automated, temperature-controlled (perishable) buildings across multiple sites.
This role sits within a team of automation engineers responsible for delivering large-scale automated facilities (~600K sq ft) to our operations partners. These environments are complex, fast-paced, and require a high level of precision due to the handling of perishable goods.
Each site has a dedicated field engineer who owns the core building delivery (scope, budget, timeline, quality). This role is different.
You will operate at a regional/program level, leading and executing critical supporting projects that enable successful building delivery. These projects may span individual sites or multiple locations and require strong planning, coordination, and follow-through.
Success in this role means taking loosely defined problems, breaking them into actionable workstreams, building clear plans, aligning stakeholders, and driving execution to completion-often across multiple sites at once.
This is a fast-paced, highly structured environment where strong ownership, organization, and the ability to "get things done" are critical.
What You'll Do
Own program-level and site-specific initiatives that support automated building delivery. Define scope, break down work, build detailed project plans, and execute from start to finish.
Take ambiguous problems and translate them into clear, executable plans. Identify dependencies, risks, and critical paths, and drive alignment on the path forward.
Partner with site engineers, operations leaders, vendors, and internal teams to align priorities, remove blockers, and ensure projects are delivered on time.
Assist in planning and coordination for system integrations, testing, and go-live readiness across multiple sites.
Develop concise updates and executive-ready presentations. Ensure stakeholders are informed, aligned, and able to make timely decisions.
Build a strong understanding of workflows, system logic, and operational processes-especially within temperature-controlled, perishable environments.
What You'll Bring
Demonstrated ability to take ownership of work, break it down, build structured plans, and deliver results across multiple stakeholders and timelines
Self-starter who thrives in ambiguity, takes initiative, and consistently drives work through completion
Able to manage multiple projects simultaneously with clear structure, prioritization, and follow-up
Proven ability to build trust, collaborate across functions, and drive alignment without direct authority
Able to simplify complex topics and create clear, effective presentations (PowerPoint) for a variety of audiences
Ability to quickly learn systems, processes, and workflows; understand flow and logic within automated environments
Comfortable reviewing drawings and extracting key information (e.g., layout, distances); this is not a design role
Nice to Have
