Engineering Administrator

Description

This is a full time onsite position at our Bethlehem PA location.

ABEC is looking for an organized, detail-oriented Engineering Administrator to support our Engineering and Design teams. This is a great opportunity for someone who enjoys bringing structure to complex work, improving processes, keeping information accurate, and helping technical teams operate more efficiently.

You’ll work closely with Engineers, Designers, Technical Leads, and Managers to coordinate the processes, documentation, data, and day-to-day activities that keep engineering projects moving. You’ll also collaborate across departments and with ABEC teams globally to help create more consistent and efficient ways of working.

What You’ll Do

• Create and maintain part numbers and engineering master data.
• Support the creation and maintenance of Bills of Material (BOMs).
• Coordinate Engineering Change Notices (ECNs), Engineering Release Notices (ERNs), and supporting documentation through established approval and release processes.
• Maintain accurate engineering documents, records, files, and data within ERP, PLM, document control, and departmental systems.
• Help develop and maintain process maps, workflows, templates, work instructions, policies, and standard procedures.
• Work with Engineering teams across ABEC to help standardize administrative processes and improve workflows.
• Maintain engineering metrics, trackers, dashboards, and status reporting.
• Coordinate meetings, action items, follow-ups, and departmental communications.
• Support Engineering onboarding, training coordination, and reference materials.
• Partner with Purchasing, Quality, Manufacturing, Project Management, and Document Control to keep cross-functional workflows moving.
• Support Engineering leadership with special projects and departmental initiatives.
• Identify opportunities to simplify, standardize, and automate processes while supporting Continuous Improvement initiatives.
• Track priorities, turnaround times, and open actions, and communicate progress or roadblocks.
• Travel to other ABEC locations as needed for collaboration, training, workshops, and process alignment.

What We’re Looking For

You could be a great fit if you have:

• 1–3 years of experience in engineering, manufacturing, technical administration, document control, project support, or a similar environment.
• An associate or bachelor’s degree in Engineering Technology, Business, Operations, Manufacturing, or a related field, or equivalent relevant experience.
• Strong organizational skills and excellent attention to detail.
• Experience with ERP, PLM, document management, or other enterprise systems.
• Exposure to part numbers, BOMs, engineering changes, or controlled technical documentation is a plus.
• Strong written communication skills and the ability to create clear procedures, work instructions, process maps, and business documentation.
• Proficiency with Microsoft Office, with experience in workflow, process mapping, reporting, or collaboration tools being a plus.
• The ability to independently manage priorities while working effectively with Engineers, Designers, Managers, and cross-functional teams.
• An interest in Continuous Improvement, Lean, automation, and making processes better.
• Ability to travel domestically and internationally as needed.

Why This Role?

This isn’t just an administrative position. You’ll be at the center of how Engineering operates, helping ensure information is accurate, workflows stay on track, processes are consistent, and technical teams can stay focused on engineering.

If you enjoy organizing complex information, improving processes, working with technical teams, and seeing your work make an immediate operational impact, we’d love to hear from you.
