Job Description

Superior Rigging and Erecting is looking for a Rigging Engineer with a Professional Engineer (PE) license who thrives in high-stakes, technical environments. This role blends engineering design with field execution—you won’t just be behind a desk, you’ll be directly supporting crews on projects where every lift, every calculation, and every plan matters.

We are a leading crane, rigging, and steel services company with a reputation for tackling complex, heavy-lift projects across the Southeast. From precision machinery moves to large-scale structural steel erection, safety and technical excellence are at the core of everything we do.

Key Responsibilities :

Engineering & Design

  • Develop engineered lift plans, rigging drawings, and calculations for complex crane and rigging operations.
  • Perform structural analysis of loads, rigging gear, and lift configurations to ensure safety and compliance.
  • Stamp and approve rigging plans as the responsible engineer of record.

Field & Project Support

  • Collaborate with sales team, operational leaders, superintendents, and field crews to translate designs into safe, executable rigging solutions.
  • Conduct site visits to assess conditions, validate lift feasibility, and troubleshoot technical challenges.
  • Provide real-time engineering support during critical lifts.
  • Safety & Compliance

  • Ensure all rigging plans comply with OSHA, ASME, ANSI, and other applicable codes and standards.
  • Lead risk assessments for non-routine lifts or high-criticality operations.
  • Champion a culture of safety and continuous improvement in lifting and rigging practices.
  • Leadership & Training

  • Ultimately mentor junior engineers and rigging staff on engineering principles, rigging calculations, and best practices.
  • Provide technical training to internal teams on rigging safety, equipment limitations, and lift planning.
  • Future Opportunities

    This position is designed to grow into a department leadership role. As our projects and client base expand, the Rigging Engineer will be expected to :

  • Build and lead a dedicated rigging engineering department.
  • Hire, train, and manage multiple engineers and technical staff.
  • Establish standardized processes, procedures, and design templates for rigging plans across the company.
  • Serve as the company’s technical authority for all engineered rigging and lifting activities.
  • Partner with executive leadership to align department growth with company strategy.
  • This is an opportunity to not only execute challenging technical work today, but also to shape and lead the rigging engineering function for the future.

    Qualifications

  • Bachelor’s degree in Civil, Mechanical, or Structural Engineering (or equivalent).
  • Professional Engineer (PE) license in Georgia (or ability to obtain by reciprocity).
  • 2–5+ years of engineering experience in rigging, heavy lift, structural, or crane-related work.
  • Strong working knowledge of cranes, rigging hardware, load charts, and engineered lift planning.
  • Excellent communication skills with the ability to work hands-on with field teams.
  • Proficiency in AutoCAD, Revit, or other engineering design / drafting software preferred.
  • Compensation & Details

  • Base Salary : $90,000–$125,000 (exempt)
  • Location : Atlanta, GA (In-person position)
  • Employment Type : Full-time
  • Benefits : Benefits package provided during interview process
