About this opportunity:
LeTourneau is seeking a Senior Structural Engineer with experience analyzing and designing large welded structures. The right person will enjoy providing “hands on” engineering support for existing designs and products. New product development will also be an integral part of daily activities. In summary, this position engineers and designs components for large mining vehicles, and analyzes structural designs for mechanical equipment.
New product development projects are underway and require the support of a full-time Senior Structural Engineer. Outside engineering firms have been utilized to this point on a project basis. Our new Senior Engineer will need to quickly get “up-to-speed” on these projects and assume some of the workload requirements. Managing the projects that will continue to be supported by outside firms is also required. Other ongoing projects to support existing products will require attention to re-test or upgrade components.
This is a good opportunity for someone who truly enjoys being an Engineer. This position is best suited for candidates who enjoy the challenge of developing new products that utilize innovative technology. Current projects and future product ideas already under discussion offer a long-term opportunity as part of the LeTourneau Engineering Team. Sustained excellent performance in this role could lead to engineering management opportunities and could open other doors within LeTourneau or in other Divisions of P&H Mining Equipment.
About the company:
During the 1920’s R.G. LeTourneau, known to many as “Mr. Earthmover”, combined 3 passions of his: contracting and the engineering and manufacturing of earthmoving equipment into R.G. LeTourneau, Inc.

LeTourneau introduced the first machine with a DC traction system in 1950 and the Company’s first electric-hydraulic front-end loader was delivered in 1967. During these boom years, the company utilized the experience and ideas of its founder to become a vertically integrated manufacturer. LeTourneau has become famous for manufacturing the world’s largest wheel loader, their L-2350.
