Mechanical Designer

Full Job Description

Givens Engineering Inc, located on Veterans Parkway in London, creates manipulators, cranes and special-purpose machinery. We're in need of a mechanical designer to work in Solidworks, with a strong mechanical aptitude. Experience is very valued, but not absolutely necessary. CAD skills are an absolute must. Mechanical designers ordinarily have a college diploma or university degree in mechanical engineering.

The work is full-time and permanent. We offer a full benefits package and pension plan. We value a long-term relationship that will continue for years, starting with extensive training and gradually working toward increasingly challenging projects. We have a strong preference for engineers and technologists living in Southwestern Ontario.

We manufacture everything we sell right here in our large London shop, employing engineers, technologists, welders, electricians, machinists, assemblers and millwrights. We're Canada's largest manufacturer of manipulators and light cranes. We operate on both sides of the border, with a rapidly-growing sister corporation in Toledo. Check us out at
