Job Summary

The Engineering & Productization Manager is responsible for converting market demand and project opportunities into standardized, repeatable, and commercially viable fabricated and manufactured solutions that advance Loenbro's transformation from project-specific fabrication toward a scalable manufacturing platform.

Reporting to the Senior Vice President of Manufacturing, this role leads the technical development and productization of fully integrated modular solutions for Loenbro's targeted end markets. The Manager will establish strategic working relationships with engineering and packaging firms, developers, owners, general contractors, EPCs, OEMs, technology providers, and internal Loenbro operating groups to identify recurring needs, shape basis-of-design requirements, and create solutions optimized for off-site manufacturing and field installation.

The position will be the technical integrator for Loenbro's hub-and-spoke manufacturing model, with repeatable products and modules engineered for final assembly, integration, testing, and shipment through designated manufacturing hubs, while components and subassemblies are allocated to spoke facilities wherever capability, capacity, quality, logistics, and economics support the work. The successful candidate will combine engineering leadership, design management, product-development discipline, manufacturing knowledge, commercial judgment, and strong external relationship skills — moving concepts through design, validation, pilot production, standard release, configuration control, and continuous improvement.
