From power supplies and wire feeders to torches and gas systems, your job is to piece together the future of metalwork.

Primary Duties

• Bring Blueprints to Life: Translate technical drawings, exploded views, and mechanical diagrams into fully assembled equipment.
• Tool Up & Build: Use hand tools, power tools, jigs, and torque wrenches to assemble housings, mounts, regulators, feed systems, and precision components.
• Fit. Align. Assemble: Ensure components fit flawlessly – tight tolerances, clean finishes, and rugged reliability are your hallmarks.
• Troubleshoot with Confidence: Spot misalignments, mechanical faults, or design quirks during assembly and work with engineering or QC to resolve them.
• Test Before Torch: Run mechanical functionality checks, airflow tests, and component diagnostics before equipment moves to final testing or shipping.

Qualifications

• High school degree or equivalent
• Mechanical assembly experience, preferably in heavy‑duty equipment, industrial tools, or welding systems.
• Solid understanding of pneumatic and mechanical systems; hydraulic experience is a plus.
• Strong ability to interpret mechanical drawings, BOMs (Bills of Materials), and assembly instructions.
• Manual dexterity, mechanical intuition, and pride in precision.
• Comfort working with metal parts, sharp edges, and a fast‑paced, hands‑on environment.

Working Conditions

• This position is based in a dynamic manufacturing facility where safety, precision, and teamwork come first.
• You’ll be working around industrial machinery, mechanical components, and occasionally near welding and cutting operations.
• Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) is required at all times on the shop floor, including:
  • Hi‑visibility vest
  • Safety glasses
  • Steel‑toed safety shoes
• The role involves standing, walking, bending, and lifting (up to 50 lbs) throughout the day in a fast‑paced environment.
• Exposure to noise, metal dust, and varying temperatures may occur depending on the area of the facility – don’t worry, we’ve got strong safety protocols in place to keep you protected.
• You’ll work closely with other assembly technicians, engineers, and quality inspectors in a collaborative, hands‑on team setting.
• Occasional overtime may be required to meet production demands.
