Position Summary

The Manufacturing Engineering Technician supports CEPA's business in a Manufacturing Engineering and Document Control role in order to achieve maximum growth and profitability. This role enables CEPA's Manufacturing Technicians to successfully execute the on-time delivery of high-quality finished goods to all of our valued customers.

This position is the bridge between customer requirements and the production floor.
