About Sherman + Reilly
Sherman + Reilly, Inc. is a Chattanooga-based manufacturer of tools and equipment for the electric utility industry, serving utility companies, cooperatives, and line contractors around the world. As part of the Quanta Services family of companies, we combine a century of industry expertise with the resources and stability of a global infrastructure leader. Our products are built here — designed, engineered, and manufactured by a team that takes real pride in what comes off the production floor.
The Opportunity
We are looking for a Mechanical Engineer I to join our Engineering team in Chattanooga. This is an on-site, hands-on role where you’ll work alongside experienced engineers on product development projects that directly impact the tools utility crews rely on every day. If you’re early in your career and want to build real engineering skills in a real manufacturing environment — not just staring at a screen — this is a strong fit.
Requirements:What You’ll Do
• Design mechanical components and assemblies in SolidWorks for new and existing product lines.
• Create and maintain drawings, BOMs, and engineering documentation to S+R standards.
• Support prototype builds in our on-site fabrication shop and participate in testing and validation activities.
• Collaborate with Manufacturing, Purchasing, Quality, and Operations to support production readiness.
• Manage engineering change documentation and maintain accurate records in our PDM system.
• Build hands-on knowledge of our products through shop time, field exposure, and cross-functional engagement.
What We’re Looking For
Required
• Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering or a closely related field.
• Proficiency in SolidWorks or equivalent 3D CAD software.
• Solid grounding in engineering fundamentals: statics, mechanics of materials, manufacturing processes, and GD&T.
• Detail-oriented with strong documentation habits and a commitment to accuracy.
• A collaborative, team-first attitude and clear communication skills.
Preferred
• 0–2 years of engineering or internship experience in a manufacturing, industrial, or capital equipment environment.
• Exposure to utility, construction, or heavy equipment industries.
• Experience with SolidWorks PDM or a similar product data management system.
• Hands-on mechanical aptitude; comfortable in a production or fab shop environment.
Why Sherman + Reilly
• Stable, growing company with a strong order book and a long-term outlook.
• Chattanooga, TN — a city consistently recognized for quality of life, outdoor access, and a lower cost of living.
• Quanta Services company — the resources and benefits of a large organization with the culture of a smaller, close-knit team.
• Real engineering work from day one — you’ll contribute to products that go out the door, not internal tools that never ship.
• Mentorship-forward engineering team with experienced engineers invested in developing junior talent.
• Competitive compensation and benefits package including medical, dental, vision, 401(k) with company match, and PTO.
