ENGINEER or DESIGNER

Midwest Engineering Works

Are you bored in your current job as an engineer or designer? Do you like what you're doing, but long for variety and new challenges? If you're interested in learning new things, being exposed to different environments, and are customer oriented, we need to talk.

 

At Midwest Engineering Works (MEW) our engineers and designers work with OEM's in the mobile, off-road equipment markets, including agricultural and construction equipment. We do everything including drafting, engineering design, analysis, and project management to make our clients more successful. We work with steel parts, plastic parts, weldments, electrical and hydraulic systems and components, as well as engine related systems – if it’s used on mobile equipment, we can design it! We don’t tell our clients what can't be done, we find a way to make it happen. We work closely with our clients to design, develop, document, and build prototypes of innovative equipment that will make them more successful.

 

We are an engineering design firm with an informal, flexible work environment. If you work with us, you won’t work on the same product line or even with the same engineering group year after year. You'll be exposed to different equipment, different markets, different engineering groups, different manufacturing operations – you won't be bored.  There are 3 types of people - those who wonder what happened, those who watch what happened, and those who make it happen. If you make things happen, in spite of obstacles, you might be a good fit here. Also, if you like variety, if you're a good troubleshooter, you might be a good fit.

 

Due to the high quality services we provide our clients, demand is surging. We're growing and need the right people to help grow into a great company.

 

We're looking for Design Engineers and Designers.
