Mechanical Assembler | Build the Equipment That Powers America's Infrastructure

Our client is a long-established manufacturer of custom-engineered low and medium voltage electrical products and controls, and they're adding a Mechanical Assembler to their production team in Addison, Illinois. You'll take blueprints, schematics, and technical instructions and turn them into finished equipment that powers industries nationwide.

If you're detail-oriented, good with your hands, and take pride in getting it right the first time, this is a place where that mindset is valued. Prior assembly or manufacturing experience helps, but it isn't required.

Why This Opportunity Is Different

Plenty of assembly jobs have you repeating one simple task on a line. Here, the products are custom-engineered, which means reading real technical drawings, working with a variety of hand tools, power tools, and machinery, and watching a finished piece of electrical equipment come together. The organization is recognized in its industry for being agile and progressive, so the people doing the work have a direct impact on where the company goes next. You'll join a collaborative, team-oriented environment built on agility, collaboration, customer focus, and integrity, doing work that the facilities and infrastructure around you depend on.

What You'll Be Doing

• Build mechanical and electronic components into finished products by following assembly instructions, blueprints, and schematics.
• Use hand tools, power tools, and machinery safely and efficiently to get every assembly right.
• Catch problems early by inspecting parts and components for defects before they go into a build.
• Make sure every finished product meets quality standards, running checks and making adjustments where needed.
• Keep yourself and your team safe by following safety protocols and reporting unsafe conditions or incidents immediately.
• Help the team hit daily, weekly, and monthly production targets and deadlines.
• Keep work flowing smoothly by communicating with teammates and supervisors.
• Maintain a clean, organized work area with tools and materials properly stored.
• Complete assembly reports, quality checklists, and production logs accurately.
• Spot and report mechanical, technical, or operational issues during the assembly process.

What We're Looking For

• A high school diploma or equivalent.
• The ability to read and interpret blueprints, schematics, or technical instructions.
• The physical stamina to lift heavy items, stand for long periods, and perform repetitive tasks.
• Strong attention to detail and manual dexterity, with a real focus on quality and precision.
• Problem-solving skills to troubleshoot minor issues with parts or tools.
• A team-player mindset and the ability to work collaboratively.
• Comfort working in a manufacturing environment with noise, dust, and machinery, and wearing PPE such as safety glasses, gloves, or ear protection as required.
• Prior assembly or manufacturing experience is preferred but not required.
