Heavy equipment manufacturer spanning excavators, cranes, drilling rigs, and aerial platforms
Sunward Group manufactures construction and industrial machinery across a 1–95 tonne excavator range, cranes, drilling rigs, aerial work platforms, and mobile crushing stations. The tech stack reflects a traditional heavy-equipment engineering operation: CAD tools (SolidWorks, AutoCAD, Inventor), industrial control (Siemens S7-300/400, PLC, CODESYS, CAN bus), and ERP (SAP S/4HANA). The hiring mix is engineering-dominant (25 of 48 open roles) with a stated Chief Engineer leadership position, and the project list centers on manufacturing process optimization and standardization—suggesting internal focus on efficiency and quality rather than new-market expansion.
