If you’re an experienced mechanical assembler or machine builder who’s ready to take the lead, this could be a strong next step.

We’re looking for a Mechanical Assembly Coordinator to lead our Indianapolis assembly team while staying hands-on with the work. You’ll help organize the day, support and develop the team, solve mechanical problems, and keep custom industrial bakery equipment moving from parts and drawings to a fully assembled, working machine.

• Read and work from engineering drawings, assembly prints, and bills of materials
• Help resolve fit, tolerance, alignment, and mechanical-function issues
• Work closely with Engineering and Manufacturing to keep projects moving
• Support machine testing, start-up, and debugging
• Coach team members and help develop their skills
• Keep a strong focus on safety, quality, productivity, and workmanship

What We’re Looking For

• 5–7 years of industrial mechanical assembly or machine-building experience
• Experience working on custom machinery, industrial equipment, conveyors, or capital equipment
• Previous lead, Coordinator, or supervisory experience
• Strong mechanical troubleshooting skills
• Ability to read and interpret engineering and assembly drawings
• Experience with components such as bearings, shafts, gearboxes, belts, chains, drives, motors, and conveyors
• Comfortable using precision measuring tools, hand tools, and power tools
• Someone who is organized, dependable, and comfortable making decisions on the production floor
• Willingness to work hands-on alongside the team
• Must possess or be willing to obtain forklift certification

Why Join Us?

• Competitive pay and comprehensive benefits
• Stable work with a growing company
• A well-equipped manufacturing facility
• Hands-on leadership where your experience matters
• Opportunity to help build complex equipment from the ground up
• Room to grow both technically and as a leader

If you know how to build machinery, solve problems, and lead a team, we’d like to talk with you.
