What Makes This Role Different

You’re not building generic vehicles.

You’re rebuilding emergency response units that will go right back into service supporting:

Every build requires problem-solving.
And every finished unit matters.

• You’re mechanically minded and naturally figure things out
• You care about fit, finish, and quality—not just getting it done fast
• You enjoy variety and problem-solving instead of repetitive assembly work
• You work well with a team but can also own your portion of the build independently
• You take pride in craftsmanship

What You Bring

• Minimum 2 years of experience in mechanical assembly or related hands-on production work
• Strong mechanical aptitude and understanding of assembly processes
• Experience safely using hand tools, power tools, drills, impacts, taps, and shop equipment
• Ability to read and interpret technical diagrams, manuals, and build specifications
• Strong attention to detail and commitment to quality workmanship
• Ability to troubleshoot and solve assembly or fitment issues
• Team-oriented mindset with strong communication and collaboration skills
• Physical ability to lift, bend, kneel, and stand throughout the workday

Bonus Points If You Have

• Automotive assembly or fabrication experience
• Experience working on emergency vehicles or specialty vehicle builds
• Welding or metal fabrication experience
• Electrical wiring and troubleshooting experience
