About the Role

Bengal is seeking a licensed Professional Engineer (PE) to support crane operations, engineered lift planning, and heavy lifting projects. This opportunity is well suited to a PE with strong civil, structural, or mechanical engineering fundamentals who wants to develop specialized expertise in crane and lifting systems. Bengal will provide training in crane standards, lift planning, rigging principles, and industry practices. You'll work alongside experienced crane professionals and contribute engineering judgment to safe, practical lifting solutions.

Key Responsibilities

  • Perform engineering calculations and analyses supporting crane operations, rigging arrangements, and lift planning.
  • Develop and review engineered lift plans in collaboration with experienced team members.
  • Evaluate the capacity of supporting surfaces, foundations, and temporary works.
  • Review crane configurations and verify lifting capacities using manufacturer load charts and technical data.
  • Prepare clear calculations, sketches, drawings, and technical documentation.
  • Learn and apply relevant ASME and ANSI standards, OSHA requirements, and project specifications.
  • Sign and seal engineering documents as required, following internal review, within your competence and licensure, for work prepared by you or under your responsible charge.
