Position Summary...
What you'll do...
We’re looking for a highly organized, execution-driven Manager, Automation Engineering to lead the implementation and launch of a large-scale automated warehouse facility for Walmart.
This is an on-site engineering role focused on ownership, execution, and technical project management within a highly automated warehouse and industrial environment. This individual will fully own the implementation of their assigned site, serving as the primary engineering lead responsible for driving execution, coordinating stakeholders, and ensuring operational readiness through launch.
While this is not a construction management role, the position partners heavily with construction teams, operations partners, Global Tech, automation vendors, and cross-functional stakeholders throughout the site lifecycle. Success in this role requires strong coordination, communication, organization, and follow-through across multiple teams working in parallel.
The ideal candidate is highly detail-oriented, thrives in fast-paced execution environments, and can quickly learn and understand building systems, automation technologies, operational workflows, and engineering designs. This person must be capable of keeping projects on track, maintaining budget alignment, driving accountability, and ensuring a high level of execution quality.
We are looking for someone with a strong bias for action, curiosity, and excitement for automation and innovation at scale. This role is for someone who enjoys solving problems, building relationships, and working hands-on in an evolving operational environment where teamwork and ownership matter.
This is not a remote role. The position is embedded on-site at the assigned facility, and during the launch phase, your office may be located in a job trailer while the site is under development. If you like the idea of wearing a hard hat, safety shoes, and a safety vest to work while helping launch next-generation automated facilities, this is the role for you.
The annual salary range for this position is $90,000.00 - $180,000.00
Additional compensation includes annual or quarterly performance bonuses.
