Project Engineer - Mechanical

Your Job

Georgia-Pacific is seeking qualified professionals to consider for a Project Engineer/Manager role supporting the Consumer Manufacturing Group located in Muskogee, OK.

The Muskogee facility uses integrated technology to manufacture tissue, towel, and napkin products in a progressive production environment.

In this role, you will apply your mechanical engineering expertise to develop and execute capital and expense projects that improve safety, reliability, production capability, and cost performance.

You will work closely with Operations, Maintenance, Reliability, Engineering, contractors, and equipment suppliers to identify opportunities, solve mechanical challenges, and implement sustainable engineering solutions.

While project execution is an important part of this position, we are looking for someone who can bring strong mechanical technical capability to the mill and provide hands-on engineering support throughout the lifecycle of equipment and projects.
