We are looking to hire a Senior Crane Designer / Senior Mechanical Design Engineer with hands-on experience in designing cranes, telescopic boom systems, or similar load-bearing telescopic equipment.
Please actively source and approach suitable candidates. Compensation is negotiable and can be discussed based on the candidate's experience, technical capability, and current package.
PRIMARY CANDIDATE PROFILE
- Senior mechanical/design engineer with proven crane or telescopic-boom design experience.
- Experience with any of the following is relevant: mobile cranes, truck-mounted cranes, crawler cranes, tower cranes, EOT/overhead cranes, jib cranes, gantry cranes, knuckle-boom cranes, loader cranes, pick-and-carry cranes, hydra cranes, aerial work platforms, boom lifts, telehandlers, material-handling equipment, or facade-access/BMU systems.
- Must have performed actual design work, not only sales, service, operation, or maintenance.
- Strong understanding of structural design, load calculations, stability, deflection, buckling, fatigue, weld design, pin and bush design, rope/sheave selection, hydraulic cylinder mounting, and telescopic extension mechanisms.
- Able to develop concepts, calculations, manufacturing drawings, BOMs, and design documentation and coordinate with production.

SUGGESTED BOOLEAN SEARCH
("crane design engineer" OR "telescopic boom design engineer" OR "boom design engineer" OR "lifting equipment design engineer" OR "material handling design engineer" OR "heavy equipment design engineer") AND (crane OR "telescopic boom" OR "mobile crane" OR "boom lift" OR telehandler OR hoist OR BMU) AND (AutoCAD OR Inventor OR SolidWorks OR Creo OR CATIA OR NX OR ANSYS OR STAAD)
Candidates with strong telescopic structures experience from adjacent industries may also be considered, including fire-fighting aerial platforms, access platforms, concrete placing booms, telehandlers, loader cranes, defence equipment, mining equipment, and other heavy mobile machinery.
INITIAL SCREENING QUESTIONS
1. What type of cranes or telescopic equipment have you personally designed?
2. Which parts or systems were under your direct design responsibility?
3. Have you designed telescopic boom sections and extension mechanisms? Please explain briefly.
4. Have you completed structural calculations or FEA for strength, deflection, buckling, fatigue, and stability?
5. Which design and analysis software do you use independently?
6. Which crane or lifting-equipment codes and standards have you worked with?
7. Have your designs been manufactured and tested? What was your involvement during fabrication, testing, and design correction?
8. Can you share non-confidential drawings, calculations, photographs, or a portfolio demonstrating relevant work?
9. What is your current location, notice period, current compensation, and expected compensation?
10. Are you willing to relocate/work from our required location?
Please prioritise candidates who can clearly describe products they personally designed and who can provide evidence of design ownership. Before scheduling the final interview, obtain an updated CV and, where possible, a non-confidential project portfolio. Shortlisted candidates will undergo a technical discussion and may be given a practical design/calculation assessment.
Please begin the search on priority and share the first shortlist with candidate source, relevant product experience, software proficiency, current location, notice period, current compensation, and expected compensation.
Pay: ₹50,000.00 - ₹150,000.00 per month
