Associate Engineer
Role: Associate Engineer – Agriculture
Location: Green Bay, WI
Salary: 70K-80K + bonus
Duration: Permanent/ Direct Hire
Looking to build hands-on engineering experience while making a real impact in agriculture and food production? This is a unique opportunity for an early-career engineer with an agricultural background to grow into a trusted technical professional supporting energy efficiency and sustainability across working farms and food facilities.
In this role, you’ll work alongside experienced engineers to evaluate agricultural operations such as dairy farms, orchards, irrigation systems, cold storage facilities, and food processing plants. You’ll gain practical, field-based experience identifying energy-saving opportunities, improving equipment performance, and helping agricultural producers operate more efficiently and sustainably.
With mentorship and structured training, you’ll quickly build the skills needed to conduct independent site visits, perform technical analysis, and contribute to meaningful projects that support the long-term sustainability of agricultural businesses.
Why This Role Stands Out
Hands-on learning and mentorship with experienced engineers in agricultural energy systems
Meaningful, real-world impact helping farms and food producers reduce costs and improve efficiency
Clear growth path toward independent fieldwork and increased technical responsibility
Variety in your workweek, combining field visits with office-based analysis and reporting
Opportunity to work directly with agricultural producers and gain specialized industry experience
What You’ll Do
Visit agricultural and food production facilities to collect equipment and system data
Identify opportunities to improve energy efficiency and optimize operations
Analyze findings and develop energy-saving recommendations using structured tools
Support senior engineers on technical studies and client projects
Communicate project findings and collaborate on timelines and deliverables
What We’re Looking For
Bachelor’s degree in Agriculture, Sustainability, Engineering, Energy, or a related field
Background in agriculture (required)
Interest in mechanical systems, energy efficiency, or sustainability
Strong communication skills and attention to detail
Valid driver’s license and willingness to conduct regular local site visits
Work Environment
This role is based in the Green Bay, Wisconsin area and includes a mix of office-based work and local field visits (typically 1–2 days per week). Work environments may include farms, food processing areas, and mechanical spaces, with occasional climbing or ladder use.
