• • Maintain a clean and organized work area while following all safety and compliance standards

Qualifications

• • 2+ years of experience in mechanical or electrical assembly of industrial equipment (non–assembly line)
• • Ability to read and interpret mechanical drawings, electrical schematics, and work instructions

• Work on complex, one-of-a-kind systems built from the ground up in-house
• Gain hands-on experience with electrical, mechanical, and automation systems
• Temp-to-hire opportunity with a growing advanced manufacturing company.
