About the Organization

This opportunity is with a major U.S. steel and manufacturing division known for its decentralized, entrepreneurial operating model. Engineers here have real autonomy, influence, and visibility—working directly with production teams and leadership to improve processes and drive innovation.

The culture is extremely teammate-focused. Leadership regularly hosts open-feedback forums, invests in software and tool improvements, and supports hybrid work flexibility after the initial onboarding period. The engineering team at this location is notably stable, averaging roughly 20 years of tenure.

The facility sits at the base of the Rocky Mountains, providing immediate access to world-class skiing, hiking, fishing, biking, lakes, and more—all without the congestion of major metro areas. With 30+ ski resorts within a two-hour drive, this is an unmatched environment for engineers who value outdoor living and balanced work-life integration.

Role Overview

The role combines technical engineering, problem-solving, cross-functional coordination, and periodic interaction with consulting engineering firms.

  • Support understanding of design assumptions, product capabilities, and structural requirements.
  • Why Engineers Choose This Team

  • Elite Location & Lifestyle

  • Culture of Autonomy & Support
  • Long-tenured engineering team (~20 years average)
  • Leadership that listens and implements change
  • Hybrid schedule after onboarding : 3 days onsite / 2 days remote
