The Role

The Production Fabricator is an experienced, skilled role for someone who can work independently and as part of a team to build complex hose assemblies from start to finish. You bring solid working knowledge of industrial, hydraulic, or metal hose systems, understand fitting and end connection specifications, and can manage your own work through completion with minimal supervision.

• Set up and operate production equipment including crimping machines, cutting and skiving equipment, and pressure testing equipment.
• Interpret and apply technical specifications, assembly drawings, and manufacturer guidelines to produce assemblies to exact tolerances.
• Conduct thorough quality inspections throughout the build process – not just at final check.
• Identify non-conforming materials, tooling wear, or process issues and escalating appropriately.
• Support and mentor less experienced production staff – share your knowledge.
• Assist with inventory management of fittings, hose materials, and associated components.
• Maintain accurate production records, traveler documentation, and quality logs.
• Collaborate with production leads, quality staff, and management to continuously improve processes.

What We're Looking For

• High school diploma or GED; vocational training or technical certification a plus.
• 3+ years of hands-on experience fabricating industrial, hydraulic, or metal hose assemblies.
• Strong working knowledge of hose types, fittings, end connections, and applicable pressure/temperature specifications.
• Proficiency operating crimping machines, cutting equipment, skiving tools, and pressure test equipment.
• Ability to read and apply technical drawings, assembly specs, and manufacturer documentation.
• Demonstrated attention to detail and a commitment to zero-defect quality.
• Ability to work independently with minimal supervision and manage own workflow.
• Strong communication skills – able to work well within a team and elevate/issues clearly.
• Ability to lift and move up to 50 lbs regularly.
• Familiarity with SAP, ERP systems, or electronic work order platforms is a plus.

Schedule & Compensation

• Full-time, Monday-Friday 8:00 am to 4:30 pm.
