Think bigger.
Impact more.

A career at Oshkosh Corporation is more than a job. It's a chance to build something bigger than yourself and do work with a real purpose: to make a difference in people’s lives.

When you join Oshkosh, you’re joining a team of purpose-driven individuals working together to design and build products that transform industries, keep people safe, handle tough jobs and build communities. A team that believes in giving back to communities and caring for the planet we call home, because people around the world are counting on us to make a difference.

And as part of our People First culture, you'll be empowered to do the same. Consider this your invitation to explore new and better ways to make a positive impact—all at a place where there's no limit to the difference you can make.

Your growth plan is unique to you

Helping team members discover their full potential is one of the many ways we make a difference in people’s lives. Amigh, started with Oshkosh as a temporary Machine Operator. Empowered and supported by her leaders, she was able to attend different trainings and helped educate her peers with what she learned to improve their processes. Today, Amigh works as an HR Business Partner Associate with our McNeilus business. Amigh never thought she would be presenting in front of people for her career, but her perseverance was sought out by HR. Her role was unique and was created to fit her skills and the needs of the business. Her growth experiences allowed her to reach a potential she didn’t know existed, and she is not done yet. To continue her growth journey, Amigh used Oshkosh's tuition reimbursement support to obtain her Bachelor's degree. She was the first in her family to accomplish this degree! We are proud to support team members like Amigh who are dedicated to making a difference.

Join a culture that puts people first

People are the foundation of our business. That’s why we’re so focused on fostering a People First culture: a culture that empowers team members, inspires collaboration and prioritizes personal and professional development. Home to a diverse set of individuals, supportive employee business resource groups and a wide variety of perspectives and ideas, the Oshkosh team isn’t just different—it’s one of a kind.

Wellbeing looks a little different for everyone

Senior IT Business Analyst, Scott, has always been physically active and focused on his personal wellbeing. In 2019, he experienced a sudden cardiac arrest (SCA) and was fitted with an Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillator (ICD). He faced a challenging recovery and needed Oshkosh support. We facilitated his ability to work remotely, because of driving restrictions. Utilizing the Oshkosh Accelerate wellbeing program, Scott was able to build up his confidence after his recovery with a goal to be mentally and physically ready to run in a local half marathon just four months after his SCA, which he did! Caring for our team members' physical, emotional and financial wellbeing is important to us, so team members like Scott, can achieve their goals.

Challenge the limits of possibility

For more than a century, our team members have worked to develop technology that changes the way the world moves. With industry-changing inventions under our belt and exciting innovations on the horizon, there’s never been a better time to join our team and be a part of creating what’s next.

Industry-leading innovations

There’s no tried and true formula for industry-leading innovation. For Project Engineer Megan Schultz, it started with impossibility. The JLG 1932R electric scissor lift looked almost impossible on paper, requiring a set of technologies at a price point that seemed unattainable. Undeterred, Megan and her team examined more than 60,000 possible combinations of parts and technologies to identify the ideal configuration for the new equipment, closely reviewing each detail to ensure the equipment could maximize performance without sacrificing value. Launched in 2016, the 1932R is JLG’s newest 19-foot scissor lift and plays an integral role in their industry leading product portfolio.
