We’re coming up with ways to build the world’s most incredible cranes; we’re thinking outside the box to design efficient and reliable equipment components; and we’re bringing innovation to life each and every day with dreamers like you.

Manitowoc Cranes is looking for an Engineer with intermediate developmental skills where routine design work requires the application of standard techniques, procedures and criteria in carrying out a sequence of related engineering tasks.  Technical capabilities are developed that allow for limited exercise of judgment on design details, development, and presentation.  You will begin to handle more aspects of small to medium projects while developing independence in operation and, therefore, requiring less direct supervision.  Assignments include some coordination of tasks with marketing and production.  Typically, will begin to work at a higher level of moderate complexity.  Reporting to the Sr. Engineering Manager, this position is located in Shady Grove, Pennsylvania.

If you’re up to the challenge, the reward is satisfaction . . . and knowing you helped build something real. Join our passionate team and help build something you can be proud of – a future filled with passion, pride, and satisfaction
