Job description

Electromechanical Assembler Schedule: First shift, with flexible start times Duration: 6-month contract, with potential for extension or permanent hire based on business needs

Position Overview We’re looking for an experienced Electromechanical Assembler to help build large, complex equipment used in advanced inspection and security applications. This is a hands-on opportunity for someone who enjoys mechanical assembly, wiring, troubleshooting, and working directly with engineering teams to bring sophisticated equipment to life. You’ll work on large-scale scanner systems, connecting wiring, assembling mechanical components, interpreting technical drawings, and ensuring each system meets quality and safety standards.

What You’ll Do

• Assemble large electromechanical equipment, including mechanical components, cables, wiring, and electrical connections.
• Read and interpret wiring diagrams, schematics, engineering drawings, and assembly instructions.
• Install, connect, and torque components and assemblies to required specifications.
• Perform hands-on tasks such as drilling, tapping, reaming, and crimping.
• Inspect assemblies, perform crimp pull tests, and help resolve production issues.
• Work with engineering and production teams to troubleshoot challenges and recommend improvements.
• Follow online work instructions, maintain accurate production records, and verify bills of materials.
• Help manage inventory, organize work priorities, and support on-time product delivery.
• Assist with training and guiding other assemblers when needed.
• Follow established quality standards and safety procedures, including when working outdoors or at heights.

What We’re Looking For

• High school diploma or GED required.
• Approximately 3+ years of manufacturing or assembly experience.
• Strong mechanical assembly experience, preferably working with large equipment or complex electromechanical systems.
• Experience with wiring, cabling, crimping, and connecting mechanical and electrical components.
• Ability to read and interpret schematics, wiring diagrams, and bills of materials.
• Strong troubleshooting skills and the ability to work independently with minimal supervision.
• A positive, team-oriented attitude and commitment to quality and safety.
• Experience with industrial equipment, automation systems, large machinery, or complex equipment integration is especially valuable.
• Candidates whose experience is primarily limited to small circuit boards or semiconductor manufacturing may not be the best fit.

Why Consider This Opportunity?

• Competitive pay: $24–$26 per hour, depending on experience.
• Flexible first shift: Typical hours are around 6:00 a.m.–2:30 p.m., with some flexibility in start and end times.
• Hands-on technical work: Build large, sophisticated equipment while developing your electromechanical assembly skills.
• Team collaboration: Work alongside experienced engineering and production professionals.
• Potential long-term opportunity: The initial contract is six months, with the possibility of extension or permanent employment depending on business demand.

Important Requirements

Employment is contingent on completing a standard background check, education verification, and a five-panel drug screen that includes marijuana testing.
