Build an Engineering Function. Influence the Business. Leave Your Mark.

Superior Rigging & Erecting is seeking a licensed Professional Engineer (PE) to become a key technical leader within our growing organization. As we continue expanding our engineering capabilities, we are looking for an experienced engineer who wants more than a traditional design position. We are looking for someone who enjoys solving complex technical challenges, partnering with operations, and helping shape the future of an engineering department.

You will work alongside executive leadership, project managers, crane and rigging professionals, safety leaders, and field teams to develop engineered solutions for some of the Southeast's most challenging construction, heavy lift, steel erection, transportation, and industrial projects.

If you are looking for another engineering job where your work rarely leaves the office, this probably is not the right fit.

If you enjoy seeing your engineering decisions come to life in the field and want the opportunity to influence projects, people, and the direction of a growing organization, we would like to speak with you.
