The primary supervisory and managerial duties for this position will be to oversee scope/schedule/budget for engineering projects, develop engineering skill sets and activities that align with Brady’s vertical market development strategies, continuously evaluate and implement engineering best practices, and support the sales teams’ business development and pre-construction activities. This role also ensures that accurate design (prefabrication) drawings and specifications are provided to the fabrication shop, and installation drawings are reviewed with the operations team prior to installation. This role will manage the contract, to include scope, budget, and schedule, for design, engineering, and commissioning consultants as project load, scope, and customer requirements require outside services.
