Lead the team that specifies our systems — and the team that answers when one doesn't work.
ENERVEX designs and manufactures mechanical exhaust, chimney, and heat-recovery systems for commercial and industrial buildings. We are combining Applications Engineering and Technical Support into a single function, Technical Services, and hiring a Director to lead it.
The reason is specific. When a system underperforms in the field, the cause may be sizing, product performance, unclear documentation, or an installation that departed from the submittal — and until now that determination was made across an organizational boundary. This role owns both sides. For the first time, one person can run a field problem to its actual root cause and fix that, rather than negotiate about whose fault it was.
What you will own
- A team of 8–12 across applications engineering and technical support, working through two discipline leads.
- System design and sizing for commercial and industrial projects — draft and static pressure calculations, equipment selection, ASHRAE chimney design equations, NFPA 211 and NFPA 54.
- SolidWorks modeling, submittal drawings, and BIM and clash detection coordination with contractors, specifying engineers, and owners.
- Technical support performance — response times, commissioning and startup support, field troubleshooting, and warranty diagnosis.
- Our technical training program and Absorb LMS for internal staff, independent representatives, and channel partners.
- A seat on the leadership team, the function's budget, and its annual plan.
What we are looking for
- BSME or equivalent experience, with eight or more years in exhaust, venting, HVAC, or combustion system design.
- Hands-on SolidWorks proficiency — enough to build the model yourself and to critique your team's work credibly.
- Demonstrated experience applying ASHRAE chimney design equations.
- LMS administration experience — building courses, curricula, and certification tracks. Absorb specifically is a strong plus.
- Three or more years leading a technical team.
- Someone who can run a support queue to a service level in the same week they are reviewing a complex submittal. Both matter here, and most candidates are strong at only one.
The honest version
This is not a role where you delegate the technical work. You will review models, arbitrate calculations, and occasionally get on a roof. The support phone is real and it does not respect your calendar — part of the job is building the discipline that protects engineering time from it. In exchange, you get a function you can actually design, a direct line to the President & COO, and the authority to fix the root cause instead of documenting it.
Practical details
- Competitive salary and benefits.
- Relocation assistance is available for the right candidate — if you are the right person for this role, we will help you get here.
- Travel 15–20 days per year, primarily in the US and Canada.
- On-site at our Alpharetta, Georgia facility, in the north Atlanta metro.

Engineering Director Jobs in Georgia: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a engineering director in Georgia?
Most engineering directors in Georgia reach the role by earning a bachelor's degree in an engineering discipline, then building a decade or more of technical and team leadership experience. While Georgia does not require a state-issued license specifically for the title of engineering director, professionals overseeing work that falls under the Georgia State Board of Professional Engineers and Land Surveyors' jurisdiction must hold or employ a licensed Professional Engineer. Senior technical leadership experience in Georgia's aerospace, defense, or technology sectors is the most common pathway.
How much do engineering directors make in Georgia?
Engineering directors in Georgia earn a median of about $161,470 a year, based on May 2025 Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data, ranging from around $107,170 for the lowest 10% to over $221,750 for the top 10%. Pay rises with experience, specialty, and employer.
Which companies hire engineering directors in Georgia?
Employers hiring engineering directors in Georgia right now include Honeywell, The Coca-Cola Company, and CVS Health, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of August 2026. Georgia's concentration of aerospace primes, logistics technology companies, and enterprise software firms in and around Atlanta and Savannah means demand for engineering leadership is spread across several industries.
Which Georgia cities have the most engineering director jobs?
Atlanta, Alpharetta, and Augusta have the most engineering director openings in Georgia. Atlanta dominates due to its density of technology, telecommunications, and corporate headquarters, while Savannah's growth is tied to logistics, port operations, and manufacturing expansion that have drawn large engineering employers to the region.
Are there remote engineering director jobs in Georgia?
Yes, and more than many senior technical leadership roles, since engineering directors focused on software, cloud, or enterprise platforms can often lead teams without being on a plant floor. About 47% of engineering director openings tied to Georgia are remote or hybrid as of August 2026, reflecting broader flexibility for non-facilities-dependent work. Engineering directors overseeing hardware, manufacturing, or defense programs are more likely to require on-site presence.
How can I get hired as a engineering director in Georgia with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry point is moving into a senior engineering manager or principal engineer role first, then building a record of leading teams and delivering large programs before targeting director titles. Georgia employers in manufacturing and aerospace, including those in the Savannah industrial corridor and Atlanta's technology sector, regularly hire senior managers who show readiness to step up. Earning a Professional Engineer license from the Georgia State Board strengthens candidacy in regulated industries, and project management credentials are valued across sectors.
Where can I find and apply to engineering director jobs in Georgia?
