SaltWorks MFG – Mechanic / Assembly Craftsman

What This Role Actually Is

You are responsible for full mechanical assembly from a bare chassis to a finished vehicle. Every system. No shortcuts. No guessing.

• Complete vehicle assembly (suspension, drive train, plumbing, wiring integration)
• Fit and install components with serviceability in mind
• Work alongside fabrication, surface, trim, and engineering—no silos
• Diagnose, correct, and improve—not just install
• Final assembly mindset: everything you touch is visible, functional, and permanent

What We Expect

• You understand how a full vehicle system works—not just your task
• You can read the build before you start the build
• You think in systems layout, access, and long-term service
• You don’t move forward until the previous step is right
• You take ownership—mistakes, wins, all of it
• If you need constant direction, this isn’t the place.

What You Need to Bring

Strong mechanical background (hot rods, customs, restorations, or high‑end builds)

• Full chassis assembly
• Plumbing (fuel, brake, cooling)
• Electrical integration (not just plug‑and‑play)
• Final assembly fit and finish
• Ability to problem‑solve in real time
• Clean, organized work habits

Bonus if you understand:

• LS/LT/Coyote/Godzilla/Hemi platforms, aftermarket systems
• High‑end components and integration (not OEM‑only mindset)

How We Work

Every day starts with a plan

Every task has a clear outcome before it begins

Every department depends on you doing it right

We build cars that live at the highest level. They get driven, judged, and taken apart by people who know what they’re looking at.

What You Get

• Work on some of the highest‑end custom builds in the country
• Be part of a team that actually gives a damn
• No shortcuts, no hacks, no “good enough”
• A shop where quality is the baseline, not the goal

Who This Is For

• Craftsmen who want to be the best at what they do
• People who take pride in invisible details
• Builders who understand that form follows function

Who This Is NOT For

• Clock punchers
• Parts changers
• “That’ll work” mentality

If this sounds like you, apply. If it doesn’t, don’t waste your time—or ours.
