The Manufacturing Engineering Project Manager is responsible for leading and coordinating strategic manufacturing projects across multiple Industrial SBU facilities in the United States, Mexico, and Canada. The primary focus of the position is ensuring that each facility has the manufacturing capacity, equipment, processes, and infrastructure required to deliver the annual operating plan while supporting the SBU’s longer-term, five-year manufacturing strategy.
This position leads a portfolio of approximately five to ten active projects at any given time. Projects will typically include capital equipment and automation investments, capacity expansions, product transfers between facilities, manufacturing process improvements, facility and infrastructure projects, and support for new product development and industrialization. Individual capital projects will generally exceed $500,000, although the portfolio may also include strategically important product transfers or capacity initiatives with limited direct capital investment.
The Manufacturing Engineering Project Manager leads projects from concept and business justification through design, funding approval, procurement, implementation, qualification, start-up, and operational handoff. The role partners closely with manufacturing operations, engineering, finance, sourcing, supply chain, quality, EHS, maintenance, facilities, product management, and external suppliers.
This is an individual-contributor position with significant project and matrix leadership responsibility. The position does not have direct reports but provides direction, coordination, and accountability to cross-functional project teams across multiple locations.

Tips for Finding H-1B Sponsorship Jobs in Ohio
Target Ohio's large healthcare networks first
Systems like Cleveland Clinic, OhioHealth, and University Hospitals file H-1B petitions consistently every year. Focus your applications on staff physician, research, and clinical informatics roles, where specialty occupation requirements are clearly met.
Follow OFLC disclosure data to find active sponsors
The Department of Labor publishes quarterly H-1B Labor Condition Application data. Filter by Ohio employer name to identify which companies filed recently, how many positions they sponsored, and which job titles they approved.
Look beyond Columbus for less competitive markets
Cleveland and Cincinnati both have strong H-1B sponsoring employers in healthcare and manufacturing. Dayton has aerospace and defense contractors. Spreading your search across metro areas increases your options beyond the most competitive Columbus tech market.
Use Migrate Mate to filter for verified Ohio H-1B sponsors
Migrate Mate surfaces jobs from employers with a documented H-1B sponsorship history. Filtering by Ohio and H-1B saves time you'd otherwise spend researching whether individual employers are willing to sponsor before you apply.
Align your degree field with the Ohio roles you're targeting
Ohio's major H-1B employers in engineering, IT, and finance require a direct connection between your degree field and the specific role. Confirm that match before applying, since a mismatch is one of the most common H-1B denial reasons.
Connect with Ohio's university research and tech transfer offices
Ohio State, Case Western Reserve, and University of Cincinnati all employ H-1B workers in research roles. Their affiliated startups and spin-off companies are also active sponsors and are frequently overlooked by job seekers focused on large corporations.

Get Access To All JobsH-1B Jobs in Ohio: Frequently Asked Questions
Which industries in Ohio sponsor the most H-1B visas?
Healthcare and social assistance, professional and technical services, and manufacturing are consistently the largest H-1B visa sponsoring industries in Ohio. Major hospital systems and clinical research organizations drive healthcare filings, while engineering, IT services, and financial services firms account for a large share of professional services petitions across the state.
Which cities in Ohio have the most H-1B sponsorship jobs?
Columbus has the highest concentration of H-1B sponsoring employers, driven by its healthcare, financial services, and growing technology sector. Cleveland is a close second, anchored by its world-class medical institutions and manufacturing base. Cincinnati rounds out the top three, with strong activity in consumer goods, financial services, and engineering.
What types of roles typically qualify for H-1B sponsorship in Ohio?
Roles that require at least a bachelor's degree in a specific field qualify as specialty occupations under the H-1B. In Ohio, this most commonly covers software engineers, physicians and researchers, mechanical and electrical engineers, financial analysts, and IT professionals. The degree must be directly related to the duties of the specific position being sponsored.
How do I find H-1B sponsorship jobs in Ohio?
Migrate Mate lets you filter job listings specifically by visa type and state, so you can browse Ohio roles from employers with verified H-1B sponsorship history without having to research each company individually. Supplementing that with DOL LCA disclosure data to confirm recent sponsorship activity at your target employers gives you the clearest picture of where sponsorship is genuinely available.
What is the prevailing wage for H-1B jobs in Ohio?
U.S. employers sponsoring a visa must pay at least the prevailing wage, which is what workers in the same role, area, and experience level typically earn. The Department of Labor sets this rate to make sure companies aren't hiring foreign workers simply because they'd accept lower pay than a U.S. worker. It varies by job title, location, and experience. You can look up current prevailing wage rates for any occupation and location using the OFLC Wage Search page.
