Manufacturing Engineer

Duraco Specialty Tapes #150831 • Forest Park, GA

8d • $75,000 - $95,000

About The Position

Do you know what unwind and rewind of converters or web handling means? If that sounds familiar—and exciting—then you might be the perfect fit for our team! At Duraco Specialty Materials, Manufacturing Engineers aren’t stuck behind a desk. You’ll be on the floor, sleeves rolled up, making things happen. This role is about turning ideas into reality—setting up machines for new SKUs and custom requests, designing jigs and fixtures, troubleshooting equipment, and finding better ways to do things every single day. You’ll work with people as much as machines. Operators, supervisors, technical teams—you’ll collaborate to keep production moving and improve how we do it. Some days you’ll be deep in AutoCAD layouts or analyzing data in Excel. Other days, you’ll be leading projects that cut downtime, reduce scrap, and boost efficiency. No two days are the same, and that’s what makes it exciting.

Requirements

• You’re a hands-on problem solver who likes working with people and making machines work through people.
• You’re curious, proactive, and ready to take ownership of projects that matter.
• Degree in Mechanical or Industrial Engineering preferred (or equivalent experience in a manufacturing environment).

• Lead continuous improvement projects that make a real difference.

Benefits
