Job description

Pettibone seeks an Electrical Engineer to join their Engineering team in Baraga, Michigan.

If you like designing systems that actually move, lift, haul, and work hard in the real world, this is a great role. You'll support rugged, mobile, heavy equipment used in industries like forestry, rail, recycling and scrap handling, construction, biomass, and oil and gas. In other words: this is not theoretical engineering. This is hands-on, practical, "make the machine work better" engineering.

• Health Savings Account and Flex Spending Account.
• Company paid short-term and long-term disability insurance.

• Employee Assistance Program.
• Paid time off (vacation, sick, holidays, and volunteer time-just to name a few).
• Full-time position with schedule flexibility (M-F 8am-4:30pm, or a flexible 4-day/10-hour schedule).
• Great onboarding and training program.
• A safe, team-oriented, fun work environment.
