About The Position

This position offers the opportunity to manage manufacturing equipment projects from detail design coordination through installation, startup, commissioning, and handover. As Bridor’s owner representative, you will coordinate equipment suppliers, building engineering partners, contractors, and plant teams while managing schedules, budgets, and technical requirements. External engineering partners perform much of the detailed engineering; you will guide and review their work to ensure it meets Bridor’s production needs and design standards. Projects include greenfield food manufacturing facilities, brownfield expansions within operating plants, and green production-line installations. The role requires engineering judgment, consistent follow-through, and the ability to move projects forward across multiple teams. Salt Lake City, Dallas, Philadelphia are preferred initial locations. Future relocation to the Dallas/Lancaster, Texas area will be required when business needs dictate.

• Working knowledge of AutoCAD or comparable drawing tools and project management software
• Ability to manage schedules, monitor costs, identify risks, and meet project commitments
• Strong communication, organization, and practical problem-solving skills
• Demonstrated ownership, adaptability, and accountability for project results
• Ability to coordinate technical partners and vendors without direct supervisory authority
