As a Manufacturing Engineer with Manitowoc Cranes, you will be responsible for routine design work requiring the application of standard techniques, procedures and criteria in carrying out a sequence of related engineering tasks; provide work analysis to maintain production standards and cost estimates. Your technical capabilities will be developed that allow for limited exercise of judgment on design details, development, and presentation and will begin to handle more aspects of small to medium projects while developing independence in operation and, therefore, requiring less direct supervision. You will help work on special projects including equipment justification and shop efficiency improvements.
The position reports to a Manufacturing Engineering Manager and 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.
