We provide service, parts, and equipment for a wide variety of overhead hoists and cranes used in both general industry and the entertainment industry. We also offer hand-operated equipment, including pullers and hand chain hoists.
You will work directly with a small team, wear multiple hats, and make practical decisions every day. The right person is mechanically minded, organized, self-motivated, and genuinely interested in becoming an integral part of a small business. Industry knowledge can be learned, but mechanical aptitude, common sense, and a willingness to learn are essential.
We are looking for a hands-on Operations Manager to oversee the day-to-day operation of the business. This position is responsible for coordinating and managing sales, service, parts, and new equipment, while working closely with customers, technicians, vendors, and suppliers. The right person is a self-starter who takes initiative and works independently to get things done, while collaborating closely with executive leadership to help Otto Systems continue to grow.

- Read, understand, and work with equipment manuals and parts breakdowns; this is mandatory to the role.
- Manage multiple priorities and follow projects through to completion using strong organizational and communication skills.
