Company Description
What We Live By……
The McWane Way is a core philosophy outlined by the founder J.R. McWane in 1920. Today It encompasses Teamwork, Excellence, Leadership, Environment, Communication, Accountability, Safety and Trust. All team members at every level are expected to know and work by these principles, values, and behaviors. Most importantly, every team member is expected to be able to answer this question, “What does this mean for me?” This is the all-important question because behavior is the best evidence of a living principle. Join the McWane team on the journey to The McWane Way.
Who We Are……
McWane Inc. has a newly created division, McWane Plant and Industrial (MPI). This new division, based in Birmingham, AL, combines all Plant and Industrial Products in a single customer-focused package. We offer comprehensive solutions through an experienced team of professionals specifically focused on these two special markets. Our Mission is to be the Plant and Industrial supplier who is “easiest to do business with”. We will make it easier to engineer, specify, and order components for plants. We will provide greater support for smoother delivery, cost-effective installation, and start-up. Most importantly, we will build strong relationships with design engineers, contractors, plant operations teams and project owners to assure we are their first-choice supplier for both new construction and future upgrades.
At MPI, you will be part of a fast-paced, collaborative, start-up where you can see, firsthand, how your work translates into positive results.
Job Description
MPI products will be manufactured at our MPI Calera location, in Calera, AL, where standardization of best practices and formatting will be fundamental. The MPI division is generating significant growth, requiring collaboration with several sister divisions as internal product knowledge and development mature.

Engineering Manager
Design Engineer – Valves for Waterworks
Launch Your Engineering Career with Real Impact – From Sketch to Shop Floor in Record Time!
Are you a recent grad or early-career engineer ready to dive into hands-on design work that directly shapes critical infrastructure? We’re seeking a motivated junior Design Engineer to join our dynamic team, focusing on innovative valve solutions for the waterworks industry. Here, your designs don’t sit on a shelf – you’ll see them come to life in manufacturing almost immediately, delivering clean water to communities nationwide.
Why This Role is Perfect for Emerging Talent:
Fast-Track Feedback Loop: Get rare exposure to full-cycle product development. Design a valve component in the morning, collaborate with manufacturing to prototype it by afternoon, and test it on the shop floor – instant proof of your work!
High-Impact Mission: Contribute to reliable water distribution systems that power cities, agriculture, and everyday life. Your innovations help ensure safe, efficient flow control in municipal water, wastewater, and irrigation projects.
Collaborative & Cross-Functional: Work shoulder-to-shoulder with manufacturing experts to optimize producibility and partner with our Sales team to tailor solutions for real-world customer challenges.
Growth-Focused Environment: Perfect for recent graduates or those with up to 2 years of experience. Mentorship from seasoned engineers, professional development opportunities, and a supportive team culture to accelerate your career.
What you’ll do:
Design and develop valves and components using CAD software (e.g., SolidWorks, AutoCAD), incorporating fluid dynamics, materials selection, and industry standards.
Perform calculations, simulations (e.g., flow coefficients/Cv), and analysis to ensure performance, durability, and compliance.
Collaborate daily with manufacturing teams for design-for-manufacturability reviews and rapid prototyping.
Partner with Sales to understand customer needs, propose optimal solutions, and support custom configurations.
Participate in testing, validation, and continuous improvement of products on the production floor.
Document designs, create technical drawings, and contribute to project timelines.
Qualifications
What We’re Looking For:
Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering or related field (recent graduates encouraged!)
0–2 years of professional experience; internships, co-ops, or capstone projects in design/manufacturing are a plus.
Proficiency (or eagerness to master) CAD tools, GD&T, and basic FEA/flow simulation.
Strong problem-solving skills, attention to detail, and a passion for hands-on engineering.
Must be comfortable balancing multiple priorities, coordinating various projects simultaneously
Excellent communication for cross-team collaboration.
Familiarity with waterworks standards (e.g., AWWA) is a bonus, but we’ll train the right candidate.
Preferred Qualifications
Experience creating solid models using SolidWorks
Experience in valve or automotive design
Position Requirements
Able to work in a fast-paced environment, under pressure and within project deadlines
Ability to work cross-functionally and with other McWane divisions
Must be able to meet and adhere physical requirements included in traveling various MPI locations with appropriate PPE.
Must have valid driver license and be eligible for auto insurance coverage.
