Are you passionate about project management, and thrive operating in a fast-paced, corporate engineering environment? Are you looking to actively drive engineering projects to success, supporting the delivery of engineering solutions? Are you looking to leverage your capable customer-interfacing skills to help build a growing engineering organization? If so, you may be an exciting fit in our QuEST Global Engineering Program.
Who is QuEST?
Our goal is to become the most recognized and trusted global engineering partner for our customers—Fortune 500 companies in the Aerospace, Medical Devices, Oil & Gas, Power, and Transportation industries. We know we can find a solution to their most important technical and business challenges they encounter. We aren’t consultants. We help them make their products the most competitive in the world and that’s how we’ve grown to over 10,000 engineers operating from 50 centers around the world. We’re going to be a 100-year company, which doesn’t mean staid and boring, but rather, we evolve and adapt to create the frontier of the engineering services industry.
The Team
The Technical writing team is an established organization that supports various Project Engineering activities, capable of providing significant value to customers by helping drive projects to closure. Working alongside chemical engineers, material science engineers, structural engineers, and design engineers, the Project Engineering team facilitates engineering project success, helping meet schedules and major milestone deadlines. Our mission is to provide full engineering solutions to customers, and be the full start-to-finish partner for each product’s life cycle.
Our Culture
We just crossed the 20-year mark last year, and despite remarkable growth, we have maintained a culture of empowerment at all levels—what we call entrepreneurial. You will be part of the decision making to drive continuous improvements so we can stay happy and healthy as a business in a challenging industry. Not everyone is a great fit. We will throw you into the deep end (with lots of support), but if you want to run, we have the room. We’re not a place where laziness, ego, or rigid thinking fit in, and that’s intentional. You can do more at this company than you can in twice the time anywhere else. We accelerate success; you control the throttle and hold the yoke.
