  • Improve equipment performance, manufacturability, serviceability, reliability, and cost.
  • Maintain and improve standard equipment designs while meeting engineering, safety, and customer requirements.

Project & Manufacturing Support

  • Manage engineering projects from concept through manufacturing, testing, implementation, and lifecycle support.
  • Lead crane rebuild and refurbishment activities, including inspections, repair planning, upgrades, testing, and final delivery.
  • Work with Manufacturing, Operations, vendors, and suppliers to support production schedules and product releases.
  • Provide technical assistance through troubleshooting, field inspections, on-site support, and emergency response.
  • Ensure equipment meets applicable specifications, engineering standards, and regulatory requirements.

Engineering Support

  • Apply sound engineering judgment to resolve technical challenges.
  • Maintain accurate engineering drawings, calculations, bills of materials (BOMs), and design records.
  • Support quality assurance, product standardization, and continuous improvement.
  • Communicate technical information effectively with customers, vendors, manufacturing personnel, and cross-functional teams.
  • Manage multiple projects and priorities, including changing requirements and emergency response needs.
Required Qualifications
  • Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering or a similar discipline.
  • Proficiency with SolidWorks or equivalent parametric CAD software.
  • Working knowledge of Finite Element Analysis (FEA) and ability to validate results using engineering calculations.
  • Understanding of mechanical design principles, manufacturing processes, and engineering documentation.
  • Strong analytical, organizational, problem-solving, and time-management skills.
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills.
  • Ability to work independently and collaboratively with cross-functional teams.
  • Commitment to workplace safety and engineering quality.
  • Valid driver's license.
  • Willingness to travel approximately 10% for inspections, customer support, and field activities.
Preferred Qualifications

  • CSWA or CSWP SolidWorks certification.
  • Experience designing heavy equipment, cranes, mobile equipment, or industrial machinery.
  • Experience with hydraulic and electrical systems.
  • Experience supporting products through manufacturing and field deployment.
  • Familiarity with OSHA, ASME, AWS, AAR, or other applicable engineering standards.
Work Environment & Physical Requirements
  • 9/80 work schedule with every other Friday off.
  • Primary work location in Chesterfield, VA, with occasional work at other facilities, customer sites, vendor locations, and field operations.
  • Engineers may occasionally support emergency operations outside normal business hours.
  • Ability to sit, stand, walk, and communicate throughout the workday.
  • Ability to climb on equipment during inspections, testing, and troubleshooting.
  • Ability to occasionally lift up to 50 lbs.
  • Ability to work extended hours when required.
  • Comfortable working safely in both office and industrial environments.
