Project Engineer

Engineering Consulting l Milwaukee, WI, 2026

TO BE CLEAR:

This is an engineering role that requires you to run projects like a business. You will own technical execution and project delivery simultaneously, keeping clients happy, budgets intact, and work moving. If you want to just put your head down and engineer, this isn’t the right seat.

ABOUT LEFT HAND ENGINEERING

Left Hand Engineering is a Brookfield, WI-based engineering consulting and manufacturing productivity firm. We partner with manufacturers to solve complex operational challenges: combining deep technical engineering expertise with real-world business strategy and creative, divergent thinking. Our work spans new product development, manufacturing fixture design, strategic sourcing, project management, and productivity enhancement. Our clients range from growing manufacturers to established brands, and we are known for keeping the customer at the center of every decision.

THE OPPORTUNITY

We are looking for a Project Engineer who is equal parts technical executor and project leader. You will drive projects from kickoff through completion while staying tightly connected to the business goals behind every deliverable. You will work directly with clients, vendors, and internal team members, and you will be expected to care about outcomes, not just outputs.

Location: Milwaukee area preferred. Your home is your home base, but expect to be on-site with customers several days per week. This work happens in person.

WHAT YOU WILL DO

  • Lead engineering projects from kickoff to closeout: scope, schedule, budget, and client communication
  • Provide hands-on technical execution in mechanical and/or industrial engineering
  • Build and manage project plans and hold yourself accountable
  • Serve as the primary client contact during active engagements
  • Identify risks early and solve problems before they escalate
  • Translate technical work into clear, business-relevant communication for clients and leadership
  • Contribute to proposals, estimates, and scoping for new work WHO WE’RE LOOKING FOR
  • Degree in Mechanical Engineering, Industrial Engineering, or closely related field
  • 3+ years in a project engineering or technical lead role
  • Proven ability to manage multiple projects in a fast-paced environment
  • Strong command of PM fundamentals: scope, schedule, budget, risk
  • Excellent communicator: written, verbal, client-facing
  • Comfortable in a small, entrepreneurial environment where the rules are still being written

Preferred Qualifications:

  • Experience in consulting, contract engineering, or client-facing technical work
  • Exposure to business development or proposal writing

COMPENSATION

Negotiable: and we mean it. We encourage candidates to come prepared with their ask and be ready to make the case for their value.

WHY THIS ROLE

At Left Hand Engineering, every engineer has a direct line to leadership and real influence over how projects and the business run. You won’t be siloed. You won’t wait for someone else to make decisions. And you won’t do the same thing twice. For the right person, this is the kind of role that builds a career.
