Assembly Technicians at ALMACO enjoy building our customized combines, planters, and other equipment used for seed research.

You’ll work with a team of assemblers to build our agricultural research equipment. You don't have "assembly line" experience, and that's not what you'd do here. Instead, you'll help build custom equipment, one at a time, using your creativity and mechanical aptitude.

You’ve got a few years of mechanical assembly or repair experience, perhaps with cars, agricultural equipment, construction equipment, or similar. You’re used to working without a lot of direction and like to take ownership of your projects.

You are reliable and can work 40-50+ hours per week depending on the work schedule. You’ll enjoy a friendly, family-style work environment. You’ll experience flexibility in your work hours that you won’t find in other jobs, variety, and opportunities for advancement.

Opportunities in this position:

• Assembles large scale components, wiring, electronics, and hydraulic control systems for ALMACO agricultural research equipment, including combines and planters, using a wide variety of hand and power tools.
• Assembles painted metal sub-assemblies and final assemblies using various fastening devices and connecting methods.
• Performs quality checks on equipment to ensure correct assembly and fabrication.
• Modifies and repairs existing ALMACO products, disassembling products for purposes of diagnosing or correcting problems.

• A high school diploma or equivalent.
• Two years of related and successful work experience, including experience with mechanical assembly or repair.
• A record of dependability and cooperation in previous work environments.
• Ability and skill to effectively operate a wide range of hand and power tools. Assemblers use their own tools on the job.
