J&J Energy Solutions is an engineering, tooling, and field-services company in Morris, Illinois, built on five decades of machine-shop and fabrication expertise. We design and build custom tooling, cranes, and lifting solutions for the wind-energy and power-generation industry, and our field crews put those solutions to work up-tower and on-site. We don't settle for off-the-shelf answers, every job is a chance to engineer something smarter, tougher, and safer. What You'll Do Product design and development, taking custom tooling, cranes, and lifting solutions from concept to production. Create 3D models and 2D manufacturing drawings for machined and fabricated parts and assemblies in Fusion 360. Produce load-securement drawings, rigging/lifting drawings, and part labeling/marking drawings. Perform load calculations and load/structural simulation (FEA) to validate designs for strength and safety. Use 3D scanning and reverse engineering to capture existing components and turn them into working models. Generate CAM programs/toolpaths to support CNC machining in the shop. Run and iterate on 3D-printed prototypes to test fit, form, and function before production. Work hands-on in the shop, collaborating with machinists, welders, and fabricators throughout the build. Apply a working knowledge of welding, fabrication, and machining to design parts that are practical to build. Travel to customer sites and wind farms to take measurements, validate fit, and support field deployment of tooling. Maintain drawings, revisions, and documentation with the precision our clients count on. What Were Looking For Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering Fusion 360 is our primary CAD platform — proficiency in Autodesk Fusion 360 for 3D modeling and 2D drawings is required. A creative, outside-the-box mind, able to design things that don't exist yet rather than copy what's already out there. Innovation is core to how we work. Experience with load/structural calculations and simulation (FEA). Familiarity with CAM software and CNC machining workflows. Understanding of welding, fabrication, and machining processes, and how to design for them. Exposure to 3D scanning, reverse engineering, and 3D printing. A hands-on, problem-solving mindset and comfort working alongside the shop team. Strong attention to detail and clear technical documentation habits.

Preferred:

experience in the lifting, rigging, and transport industry. Physical & Travel Requirements Some travel required to customer sites and wind farms. Must be comfortable working at heights, in confined spaces, and climbing wind turbines when needed. Able to work hands-on in an active machine shop and lift/handle tooling and components as needed. Must meet safety and medical requirements for tower climbing and field work (training provided as needed). Nice To Have Experience in wind energy, heavy equipment, rigging/lifting, or custom tooling. Knowledge of rigging standards and lifting-equipment design considerations.

GTAW/GMAW

welding familiarity or shop machining experience of your own. Experience using design standards such as the AISC Steel Construction Manual, Aluminum Design Manual or similar. What we offer Competitive pay based on experience, with clear room to grow. Health benefits and paid time off. A tight-knit, owner-operated team that values relationships, innovation, and quality. The rare chance to design something on Monday and see it built, and used up-tower, not long after.
