Engineering Manager

Engineering Manager

Build something extraordinary. Lead with purpose. Engineer what's next. What if your next leadership role wasn't about maintaining an engineering department, but building one that sets the industry standard? We're looking for an Engineering Manager to lead and grow a team of talented engineers while helping shape the future of one of the most respected specialized lifting and rigging companies in North America. This is more than a management role. It's an opportunity to build a world-class engineering organization, influence company strategy, develop future leaders, and solve complex engineering challenges that make a real impact. All for a purpose that is bigger than profit. ProLift Rigging exists to acknowledge and glorify God by stewarding the resources entrusted to us and directing the success of our business toward meaningful and redemptive work.

Why This Role Matters You'll lead the people, processes, and innovation that drive safe, profitable, and industry-leading engineering solutions. From developing new lift methodologies and engineering tools to mentoring the next generation of engineers, your work will directly impact customers, field teams, and the future growth of ProLift Rigging.

What You'll Do

• Lead and develop a high-performing engineering team
• Champion engineering excellence, innovation, and continuous improvement
• Drive engineering strategy, standards, and technical best practices
• Develop future engineering leaders through coaching and mentorship
• Implement technologies and tools that improve efficiency and quality
• Partner with operations, project management, sales, and executive leadership
• Strengthen ProLift's technical capabilities and competitive advantage
• Ensure engineering deliverables support safe and successful project execution

Who You Are You are a problem solver, team builder, and technical leader who thrives on tackling complex challenges. You enjoy developing people as much as solving engineering problems and are energized by the opportunity to leave an organization better than you found it.

Required

• Bachelor's degree in Mechanical or Structural Engineering
• 5+ years of heavy lift, rigging, or related engineering experience
• Experience leading technical teams
• Strong communication and leadership skills
