Position Summary:

The Engineering Supervisor is a working supervisor responsible for hands-on engineering support while leading a small engineering and maintenance team at Pine Pharmaceuticals. This role combines technical expertise with people leadership, overseeing the installation, troubleshooting, and ongoing maintenance of automated manufacturing and facility equipment. The Engineering Supervisor plays a critical role in maintaining operational uptime, supporting facility design and layout initiatives, and ensuring the engineering and maintenance team operate safely and effectively in alignment with cGMP and regulatory standards.

Essential Functions:

· Automated Equipment Maintenance & Troubleshooting: Serve as the subject matter expert for automated manufacturing equipment including PLCs, HMIs, servo systems, pneumatic/hydraulic systems, and robotics. Lead troubleshooting efforts for equipment failures and process deviations; implement corrective and preventive actions to minimize downtime and prevent recurrence.

· Team Leadership & Supervision: Directly supervise a small team of maintenance technicians and engineers, including scheduling, task assignment, performance feedback, and professional development. Foster a culture of accountability, safety, and continuous improvement. Serve as a working member of the team — performing hands-on maintenance and engineering tasks alongside direct reports.

· Preventive & Predictive Maintenance: Develop, implement, and manage a preventive maintenance (PM) program for all facility and production equipment. Leverage predictive maintenance strategies (vibration analysis, thermal imaging, etc.) to extend equipment life and reduce unplanned outages.

· Facility Layout & Design: Collaborate with engineering and operations leadership on facility improvement projects including equipment placement, workflow optimization, utility routing, and space planning. Provide engineering input during design reviews and support installation of new equipment or facility modifications from concept through qualification.

· Building Management & Utilities: Serve as a working resource for the site building management system (BMS), including monitoring alarms, troubleshooting HVAC, electrical, plumbing, compressed air, and other critical utility systems. Support installation and commissioning of new sensors, controls, and infrastructure.

· Documentation & Compliance: Author and review technical documents including maintenance procedures, work instructions, SOPs, equipment logs, and change control records. Ensure all work is performed and documented in accordance with regulatory requirements (FDA, OSHA, ISO, DEA, DEC, and local authorities).

· Cross-Functional Collaboration: Partner with Production, Quality, Engineering, and EHS teams to align maintenance activities with production schedules, quality events, and safety priorities. Participate in non-conformance investigations and root cause analysis as a technical resource.

· Safety & Environmental Compliance: Champion a safety-first culture within the maintenance team. Enforce all EHS policies and procedures, conduct safety observations, and ensure all work is performed following lockout/tagout (LOTO), confined space, electrical safety, and other applicable protocols.

· Flexibility & Adaptability: Perform other duties as assigned, including after-hours or on-call response to critical equipment failures, adjusting to the dynamic operational needs of the business.

Education and Experience:

· Bachelor’s degree in Engineering (Mechanical, Industrial, Electrical) or a related scientific/technical field from an accredited university

· Minimum of seven (7) years of experience in an automated manufacturing setting, with a minimum of three (3) years in a pharmaceutical manufacturing or other related cGMP environment

· Experience with automated manufacturing equipment (PLCs, HMIs, servo drives, robotics, vision systems, pneumatics/hydraulics) required

· Demonstrated experience with facility layout, equipment installation, and/or capital project execution strongly preferred

Knowledge, Skills and Abilities:

• Strong hands-on technical skills in mechanical, electrical, and controls/automation systems
• Proven ability to troubleshoot complex automated equipment and systems under pressure
• Working knowledge of facility systems including HVAC, electrical distribution, compressed air, and building management systems
