Industrial Maintenance Experience? We'd Like to Talk to You.

You do not need to currently hold the title of Machine Builder or Mechanical Assembler to be a strong candidate.

If you have experience repairing, rebuilding, installing, fitting, or aligning industrial machinery and mechanical components, your skills may transfer very well to this position. Candidates with backgrounds in industrial maintenance, machine repair, millwright work, equipment rebuilding, and similar mechanical trades are encouraged to apply.
