Job description:
Project Engineer - Be the Heart of Innovation at Peters' Heat Treating
Location: Meadville, PA | Experience: 2-4 years | Degree: Engineering (Industrial or related field)
At Peters' Heat Treating, we don't just treat metal-we forge excellence, precision, and pride into every part we touch. For over four decades, we've been a cornerstone of American manufacturing, and now, we're looking for someone special to carry that legacy forward.
We're not just hiring a Project Engineer.
We're inviting a problem-solver, a builder, a data whisperer, and a team champion to join a family that believes in hard work, continuous learning, and doing things the right way-even when no one's watching.
What You'll Do:
You'll be the driving force behind technical projects that keep our operations running smoothly and our customers coming back. From installing new equipment to leading cost-saving initiatives, you'll be hands-on, sleeves rolled up, and making a real impact every single day.
- Lead and coordinate engineering projects-big and small.
- Analyze and manipulate large data sets like a pro (Excel mastery required).
- Support operations with technical expertise, process improvements, and quality control.
- Collaborate with plant managers, maintenance, and production teams.
- Design, build, and improve-whether it's a fixture, a furnace, or a workflow.
- Be a go-to resource for troubleshooting, training, and continuous improvement.
What You Bring:
- A degree in industrial engineering or a related field or equivalent work experience.
- A passion for learning, growing, and making things better every day.
We Want:
- A curious thinker who sees problems as opportunities.
- A team player who lifts others up and steps in when needed.
- A detail-oriented doer who takes pride in quality and craftsmanship.
- A communicator who listens, shares, and collaborates with respect.
- A leader who's not afraid to get their hands dirty.
What You'll Experience:
- A workplace where your ideas matter.
- A team that has your back.
- A culture that values integrity, grit, and growth.
- The satisfaction of seeing your work come to life-every single day.
Physical & Practical Requirements:
- Able to lift/push/pull 50 lbs and stand for 8 hours.
- Comfortable working in heat and cold.
- Forklift certified (or willing to be).
- Wears PPE with pride-because safety is non-negotiable.
Why Peters' Heat Treating?
Because here, you're not just another engineer.
You're a guardian of quality, a champion of innovation, and a key part of a legacy that's built on trust, excellence, and family values.
If you're ready to build something that lasts, we want to hear from you.
