The incumbent for this position needs to be a “hand-on” engineer who can and does consistently engage a small team of supervisors and maintenance / motive power technicians. They will also have responsible for planning & assigning work on regular basis.

This is a small facility (140+ total employment; including 3 Mx supervisors, 12 mechanics/techs) but it is a “seasoned” facility. It was closed in 2000 but reopened in 2001 due to a fire/closure of another facility and has remained open ever since. No other plant in our system currently does what this facility does.
I would be open to someone who would consider this role as an opportunity to get into the organization and move ahead as development opportunities arose. Or, it could be an incumbent who is seeking a nice, small plant to manage, keep consistent and successful, who may not be interested in pursing the “big plant” experience. Regardless, they need to deliver consistently and be hands on with the folks there. Managing from the office does not work in this plant.
