Position Summary

Legend Equipment is seeking an experienced Project Manager / CAD Design Engineer to oversee custom commercial truck upfitting projects from concept through production. This role is responsible for transforming customer ideas into buildable designs, producing professional 3D renderings and fabrication drawings, sourcing specialized materials and components, and ensuring projects are properly planned before entering production.

This position plays a critical role in helping our customers visualize their builds while ensuring our fabrication team has clear, accurate, and efficient plans to execute.

Desired Personal Characteristics

We're looking for someone who:

Thinks like a builder, not just a designer.
Enjoys solving complex fabrication challenges.
Takes pride in designing products that are both functional and visually appealing.
Can anticipate manufacturing issues before they happen.
Pays exceptional attention to detail.
Is resourceful when sourcing materials or solving unique customer requests.
Works well in a fast-paced, team-oriented environment.
Takes ownership of projects from start to finish.

Physical Requirements

Ability to occasionally lift up to 40 lbs.
