Deputy Manager Engineering

Basic Functions:

The responsibilities of the Deputy Engineering Manager will be to lead a team of engineers, participate as a member of the division's leadership team in driving sustainable, profitable results, and recruit, select and develop the talent needed to sustain and grow. This individual should be a creative, forward-thinking, process-minded, effective communicator to join our team. Additionally, the Deputy Engineering Manager's responsibilities will include, but are not limited to:

· Lead, coach, and develop a team of engineers supporting both pre-sale and post-sale engineering work; set clear performance expectations and provide regular feedback, mentoring, and career development planning.

· Drive execution of the team's short-term operating plan, including delivery commitments, staffing alignment, training plans, and productivity targets.

· Allocate work effectively across the team based on complexity, capability, and deadlines; ensure appropriate technical oversight and review.

· Participate in interviewing, onboarding, performance reviews, recognition, and corrective actions.

· Oversee preparation of engineering inputs for bids/proposals (e.g., design assumptions, load cases, modeling approach, preliminary sizing/optimization, risk/clarification identification).

· Ensure consistent application of customer specifications and internal engineering practices.

Partner with estimating/sales counterparts to improve bid responsiveness, accuracy, and engineering risk identification.

· Manage delivery of engineering packages (e.g., pole models, connection checks, calculations, design clarifications).

· Coordinate with U.S. engineering to implement practical engineering solutions.

· Implement and maintain QA processes (peer review, checklists, calculation packages, revision control) to reduce defects and rework.

· Modify/improve processes, systems, or templates to enhance departmental performance

· Communicate status, risks, and corrective actions clearly; drive closure on action items and prevent recurrence through root-cause fixes.
