• Hydraulic Systems: Install, troubleshoot, maintain, and repair complex hydraulic and pneumatic systems used for stage deployments, slide-outs, leveling, and lifting mechanisms on our units.
• Structural Work: Perform general shop duties, including measuring, cutting, grinding, fitting, and assembling metal and structural components.
• Collaboration: Work closely with the Shop Manager and design team to ensure all custom fabrications meet exact specifications and safety standards.
• Maintenance & Repair: Assist with general maintenance and repair of the mobile units, ensuring they are road-ready, functional, and looking great for their next tour.
• Organization: Maintain a clean, organized, and safe work environment in the shop.
