Careers at Gorbel

Our Culture

We act with integrity and optimism, which are the driving forces behind our vibrant community.

Integrity is everything – it’s the heart of who we are and a behavior that drives our culture. To act with integrity means to be fair and honest at all times. Integrity appears in the workplace in many ways, like how we respect each other and our business partners. Or in those moments when we choose to do the right thing or take the extra minute even though no one would know otherwise. Only through integrity can we build the trust of our employees, customers, and our partners.

Our Gorbel® workplace culture is also built on optimism. We know that a positive outlook changes everything. Optimism creates an environment where any employee can have a smooth workday then go home to their family with energy. When we have enough energy for our family, we also have enough energy for our community. Gorbel® recognizes its impact on our community and values what brings us together.

Our Growth

We invest in our future by being open to new things and willing to learn.

Since 1977, Gorbel® has been growing and changing. We never stop looking for new industries, markets, product ideas, and technologies. Seeking out new things can sometimes be risky and even uncomfortable, but it’s an integral part of our survival. Inevitably, mistakes are made – but we view mistakes as a natural result of having a growth mindset.

For our employees, having a growth mindset means learning from and teaching others regardless of rank or title. By fostering a learning environment, our employees can grow their individual skills and advance their careers. Nearly 1/3 of open positions at Gorbel® are filled by existing employees through the promotion process.

Ultimately, asking our company and people to share a growth mindset creates a relationship between them. What is good for the individual becomes good for the company and vice versa. Work and growth become dynamic, and discovery becomes a part of the everyday. At Gorbel® we are constantly making discoveries about our jobs, our business, our customers, the competitive industry we operate in, and the world – that’s what Gorbel® strives for and what’s really behind the growth mindset.

Our Teams

We work together to Improve People’s Lives.

While each and every one of our employees is capable of huge achievements, we believe those achievements are magnified by teamwork. The best teams have diversity of experience and opinions. Gorbel® is committed to fostering a workplace where we can express and explore these differences with respect. Otherwise, we can’t achieve the goal that has brought us together in the first place – to Improve People Live’s.

We proudly work together to design and build cranes that prevent pain and injury in the backs and knees and arms of those who use them. You may wonder how serious we are about Improving People’s Lives? The answer is simple. If a product doesn’t help people, we won’t make it. No matter the profitability. We know this is unusual, but it’s also the true spirit of Gorbel® and what unifies us. If this resonates with you like it does with us, then we encourage you to join our team.
