Job description

Build More Than Drawings. Help Build Industrial Furnaces Around the World.

Are you the type of engineer who would rather be standing beside a massive industrial furnace than sitting behind a desk every day?

We're looking for an Associate Engineer who enjoys solving technical challenges but isn't afraid to roll up their sleeves and work in demanding industrial environments.

This isn't a position where you'll simply create drawings and send them to the field—you'll be on-site watching those designs come to life and helping ensure they're built correctly.

If you're looking for a career that combines engineering, manufacturing, construction, and real-world problem solving, this could be the opportunity for you.

What You'll Do

• Creating and revising AutoCAD and Inventor drawings
• Developing bills of materials and manufacturing documentation
• Assisting with project planning and scheduling
• Supporting CNC manufacturing processes
• Participating in customer and engineering review meetings
• Producing as-built drawings following project completion
• Working alongside experienced installation teams during furnace construction
• Helping verify that projects are installed according to engineering specifications
• Supporting quality, safety, and continuous improvement initiatives throughout the project lifecycle

This Is Not Your Typical Engineering Job

A significant part of this role happens in the field. You'll spend time on active industrial job sites where refractory furnaces are being built. Expect environments that are:

• Hot and physically demanding
• Dusty, dirty, and noisy
• Fast-paced construction settings
• Manufacturing and industrial facilities requiring PPE
• Hands-on with installation crews and skilled trades

Project work may require long days, extended workweeks, and travel on short notice as customer schedules demand. If you enjoy seeing your engineering work become reality and don't mind getting dirty to make it happen, you'll thrive here.
