Sr. Mechanical Designer
GEOTEK, Stewartville, Minnesota, United States, 55976
Description
The Sr. Mechanical Designer supports new product, existing product, and manufacturing engineering activities, by developing design concepts, preparing 3D CAD models and drawings in SolidWorks, preparing BOMs and items the ERP system, and other product engineering documentation. The Mechanical designer will work under the supervision of an engineer yet will have independent work and responsibilities as assigned. The successful candidate will have extensive experience using SolidWorks 3D CAD software, will be highly motivated and driven, detail oriented, a self-starter, and works equally well in a team as well as individually. The successful candidate will also be capable of multi-tasking and managing and prioritizing work. The ideal candidate will have experience working in a manufacturing environment, and a background in SolidWorks 3D CAD and SolidWorks EPDM administrator which will enable them to assist/manage the CAD software/licenses, engineering hardware assets, and EPDM workflows.

Time should be split between the floor and the office or meeting rooms ranging anywhere from 25% to 75% on the production floor or engineering labs.While working on the floor there will be work with and around moving machinery, fumes and chemicals.Office work requires sitting at a desk, using a computer and phone.Who We Are:
For over 30 years, GEOTEK has been internationally recognized for industry leading composite technologies, engineering, and service. The company has grown PUPI® into the leading global provider of fiberglass crossarms and is committed to adding and developing other market-leading composite brands for the world's infrastructure. The company was founded in 1990 to manufacture and market Common Sense Fencing and other pultruded fiberglass products. Early on GEOTEK also began producing utility composite crossarms for Pultruded Utility Products, Inc., a company it acquired in 2000 and renamed Pultruded Utility Products International (PUPI) to reflect the global opportunity for these products. PUPI (pronounced "puppy") is a brand of GEOTEK. Using proprietary processes and several patented inventions, GEOTEK manufactures and distributes engineered fiberglass composites that are used by the transmission and distribution power lines and substations. The company is well positioned for sustained growth and profitability through market expansion and new product offerings.
OUR PURPOSE:
As the global leader in composite crossarms, we aim to broaden our engineered composite products in infrastructure applications with light poles and beyond.
Mission:
Enhance the world's infrastructure with engineered composite products.
Vision:
Develop, acquire, and grow respected composite product brands; where each product line delivers market-leading reliability, performance, and value to global infrastructure customers.
Values:
"TRUE Values"
