Turn Engineering Ideas into Heavy-Duty Equipment That Makes an Impact

Are you a hands-on Mechanical Engineer who enjoys solving real-world manufacturing challenges instead of sitting behind a desk all day? At Schwing America, you'll spend as much time on the production floor as you do at your computer, working side-by-side with welders, mechanics, technicians, and production teams to improve the design and manufacturability of industry-leading concrete equipment.

If you thrive in a fast-paced manufacturing environment where every day brings a new challenge, we'd love to meet you.

What You'll Do

As a Mechanical Manufacturing Engineer, you'll be a key member of our engineering and manufacturing teams, helping keep production moving while continuously improving our products and processes.

You'll:

• Troubleshoot and resolve engineering and manufacturing issues on the production floor
• Partner with production teams to solve design challenges and identify part substitutions when needed
• Investigate root causes of manufacturing issues and implement effective corrective actions
• Design and improve components using 3D CAD (Solid Edge preferred)
• Create and maintain Bills of Material (BOMs), routings, engineering changes, and SAP data
• Collaborate with welders, mechanics, technicians, inspectors, and production leadership
• Improve manufacturability, quality, and production efficiency
• Support continuous improvement initiatives throughout manufacturing

What We're Looking For

We're looking for someone who enjoys being involved in the manufacturing process—not just designing parts, but seeing them built.

Qualifications:

• Bachelor's Degree in Mechanical Engineering
• 2-5 years of engineering experience in a manufacturing environment
• Experience with 3D CAD software (Solid Edge preferred)
• Experience creating Bills of Material (BOMs), routings, and Engineering Change Orders (ECOs)
• Strong troubleshooting and root cause analysis skills
• Mechanical aptitude with hands-on fabrication or assembly experience
• Working knowledge of ERP systems (SAP preferred)
• Experience with welded structures, weld symbols, and fabrication processes
• Ability to prioritize multiple projects in a fast-paced manufacturing environment

Why You'll Love This Role

• Approximately 50% engineering office work and 50% hands-on production floor support
• Work on large, custom-built industrial equipment—not repetitive consumer products
• Collaborate directly with manufacturing and see your engineering solutions come to life
• Make an immediate impact by solving real production challenges
• Join a collaborative engineering team that values innovation and continuous improvement
