Our TorontoJobs.ca client is an international corporation that manufactures specialized lifting equipment. They are headquartered in Toronto, where they also manufacture their products to be installed across North America in construction, industrial and infrastructure applications primarily.

Job Description:
The Design Engineer is part of an Engineering team of 27 who are responsible for designing and developing purpose-built systems that meet project specific requirements. The team includes Junior, Intermediate and Senior Engineers. Due to growth, they are seeking to add a Senior Design Engineer.

Duties and responsibilities include:
Start from customer specifications and RFQs to design/engineering works to review and production. As a mechanical design engineer, you will be drafting many of these design drawings, but also reviewing and approving shop drawings and production drawings as you progress in seniority. With your strong CAD skills and experience in custom engineered solutions, you’ll be working closely with Project Managers, senior engineers and at times the business development team to ensure the project design is consistent with what was sold and the project stays on budget. Periodically, you’ll be providing technical assistance to the sales and business development teams during the proposal and estimation phase to help the company minimize its risk exposures and ensure we deliver the best product at the best possible price
