Lead Project Engineer / Structural Design Engineer – Cranes & Systems

Take the lead in delivering engineering excellence. My client, a national leader in custom-engineered crane systems for over 60 years, is looking for a sharp, driven Lead Project Engineer ready to own complex projects from concept to production. If you thrive in a hands-on role blending structural design, FEA, and customer collaboration—this is your opportunity to lead.

Why You Should Apply

Competitive base salary : $125,000–$145,000 depending on experience.
Annual performance bonus opportunities.
Competitive group medical, dental, and vision insurance plans.
401(k) with company match for long-term security.
Relocation assistance and generous paid time off.

What You'll Be Doing

Lead overhead crane engineering projects from design through production.

Conduct FEA and stress / strain analysis for performance and compliance.

Design welded steel structures using SolidWorks and system-level thinking.

Partner with sales and customers on tailored material handling solutions.

Support production with hands-on problem solving and manufacturability reviews.

Mentor junior engineers and shape a high-performance team.

About You

Be able to do the job as described.

Bachelor of Science degree in Mechanical Engineering required.

Extensive experience in structural steel or heavy fabricated equipment.

Expert in SolidWorks and structural FEA.

Comfortable navigating both the shop floor and customer sites.

Previous experience with crane systems or engineered-to-order products is a plus.
