🚀 We’re growing again — and looking for our next Senior Design Engineer.

LiftWerx continues to push the boundaries of heavy-lift innovation in the wind energy sector, and our engineering team in Cambridge, Ontario is expanding. If designing highly optimized equipment that operates 100 metres in the air sounds exciting — keep reading.

Our engineers don’t just design parts — they develop next-generation lifting and tooling technologies that drive safer, smarter, and more efficient wind turbine maintenance worldwide. The work is complex, the expectations are high, and when it comes to our equipment, performance and reliability are non-negotiable.

With over a decade of 60%+ year-over-year growth, a multidisciplinary engineering team of 30+ professionals, and thousands of successful heavy lifts behind us, LiftWerx is no longer a startup — we’re a proven innovator with serious momentum.

If you’re a Senior Engineer with a mechanical, civil, or mechatronics background and you’re ready to help shape the future of wind energy technology, this could be your next challenge.

In early 2024, we launched our first GE2.X RotorHook™ crane system, capable of performing main bearing, pitch bearing, blade, gearbox, and generator exchanges on GE2.X towers, with hub heights up to 135 metres. Nearly two years later, Team 695 has performed countless main bearing exchanges across the USA, and is one of the highest-performing teams for these types of specialized repairs.

Today, we are operating four GE2.X RotorHook™ teams, and starting in March 2026, we will be launching Team 736, our 5th RotorHook™ team. This will be followed by the deployment of RotorHook™ Team 733 (in Q2 2026) and RotorHook™ Team 771 (in Q3 2026).

Beyond that, we are currently producing five more RotorHook™ cranes which will be deployed throughout 2027 and 2028.

Bored of the old way? Are you tired of the status quo?

Max is one of those people who is capable of anything. When he joined LiftWerx ten years ago, he was one of our very first wind turbine technicians. But he's also a talented farmer, a welder, a builder, a mechanic, and a commercial truck driver.

Today, at our headquarters in Cambridge, he's a visionary.

But most importantly, he's a father, a husband, a mentor, and a friend to many.

Happy birthday, Max.

"The family that eats together, stays together."

This is a North American proverb, emphasizing that sharing meals fosters stronger relationships, communication, and bonding among family members. It highlights that the dining table is a space for connecting, sharing stories, and fostering intimacy.

This small LiftWerx "family", comprised of Dave, Mitch, Max, Mike, Liam, Alyssa, Steve, and Laura comprises many talented members of the maintenance team at our headquarters in Cambridge. They work hard every day to support our various field teams, and to maintain and deploy our equipment in optimal condition.

What's our company's vision for the future?

This video says it all.

After a decade of relentless development, our group is already doing plenty of major component exchanges on both onshore and offshore wind turbines across three continents. We're experts in this field, specialized in performing major component changes in a simpler and safer way.

Our next technological step will be develop LiftOff’s MCEV, a purpose-built vessel designed as the ultimate tool for contracting Major Component Exchange (MCE) projects. The MCEV significantly shortens response times and enhances the efficiency of MCE operations.

Based on a conventional DP2 vessel, the MCEV features a custom up-tower crane with nacelle-mounted winches, enhancing safety by removing direct load connections to the vessel. The aft deck is equipped with a motion-compensated platform that carries cargo comprised of both crane equipment and wind turbine major components, while a motion-compensated walk-to-work system ensures safe and efficient crew and small component transfers.

Unlike jack-up vessels, the MCEV does not require seabed contact, eliminating the need for pre-arrival site characterization. It also does not require any contact with the tower. Its DP2 dynamic positioning system ensures precise station-keeping, even in challenging sea conditions. The vessel’s performance also enables faster transit between turbines and sites, further reducing downtime.

If you're wondering what the future looks like in wind energy, you're looking at it.

LiftOff’s MCEV is a purpose-built vessel designed to transport multiple generators and gearboxes, making it ideal for both large-scale and smaller Major Comp...

Influential people are never satisfied with the status quo. They’re the ones who constantly ask, ‘What if?’ and ‘Why not?’ They’re not afraid to challenge conventional wisdom and they don’t disrupt things for the sake of being disruptive; they do it to make things better.

Back in 2015, in North America, all major wind turbine repairs required large traditional cranes. A decade later, our industry has experienced a massive transition, and today, around 50% of all large corrective exchanges in the USA and Canada are now performed with up-tower cranes.

Within another decade, we expect that this proportion will increase to over 90%, especially considering that towers are becoming larger and higher with each passing year.

Here at LiftWerx, we are proud to lead the way in this wind energy transition. Our team is working tirelessly to make the industry safer, greener, and more affordable than ever.

Are you still using large traditional cranes for your large corrective repairs?

We've only been back to work for a few weeks, and we're already working on our 25th large corrective repair in 2026. Our teams are on track to safely perform more than 300 gearbox, main bearing, blade, and pitch bearing exchanges this year, all on a turnkey basis.

Training excellence isn’t a slogan for us — it’s a commitment.

That’s why we’re proud to announce that LiftWerx has officially invested in our own dedicated training facility, fully accredited by the Global Wind Organization (GWO).

This milestone allows us to deliver best-in-class, in-house training led by an exceptional team of instructors, ensuring our technicians are trained to the highest global standard — safely, consistently, and professionally.

LiftWerx will now provide in-house GWO training in the following disciplines:

💡 Basic Safety Training
💡 Manual Handling
💡 Fire Awareness
💡 First Aid
💡 Advanced Rescue Training

This didn’t happen overnight. It’s the result of vision, hard work, and a team that genuinely cares about doing things the right way.

👏 Thanks to the LiftWerx team who helped turn this vision into reality!
The bar has been raised again, and we’re just getting started.

Welcome to north Texas! Here, in the middle of winter, LiftWerx Team 695 is already performing its third GE2.8-127 main bearing exchange since our field teams returned to work in early January 2026.

This team is one of the most experienced crane-less large corrective teams in the world. They solely utilize Genhook™ and RotorHook™ up-tower crane systems to safely hoist fully-assembled rotors and to exchange main shaft assemblies.

Way to go, guys! We are proud of you.
