Heavy equipment manufacturer scaling lean operations and engineering capacity
Vermeer is a 1,000+ person agricultural and industrial equipment manufacturer operating across manufacturing, engineering, and global dealer networks. The hiring acceleration—concentrated in manufacturing (34 open roles) alongside engineering positions—reflects a push to increase production throughput and new-product-development velocity. Active projects center on continuous improvement (5S, Kaizen), component design, and field testing, while the tech stack mixes traditional CAD/CAM (SolidWorks, Fanuc, Siemens) with emerging BI adoption (Power BI, Tableau), signaling data-driven decision-making at the operations level.
Vermeer manufactures agricultural and industrial equipment sold through a global network of 600+ dealers. The company employs over 3,500 people across regional offices in Brazil, the Netherlands, and Singapore, with production facilities in Iowa, South Dakota, and China. The product portfolio serves customers in farming, construction, and natural-resource management. Operations are anchored in the 4P Philosophy—Principles, People, Product, and Profit—and the company structure emphasizes continuous improvement, lean manufacturing practices, and quality-first design. As a family-owned business founded in 1948, Vermeer operates as a mid-market manufacturer with global reach and regional autonomy.
Vermeer's engineering stack includes SolidWorks, AutoCAD, DraftSight, and Siemens software for design and product development, supported by Fanuc CNC systems for manufacturing.
Vermeer is actively hiring in the United States and Canada, with manufacturing and engineering roles focused in North America.
