Texas Power Bars is seeking a dependable, mechanically inclined Barbell Manufacturing, Assembly & Warehouse Technician.

This is not a traditional warehouse or order-picker position. The primary responsibilities are operating manufacturing equipment, making barbell components, assembling finished barbells, inspecting products, and helping prepare orders for shipment.

You will be trained to operate CNC lathes, manual lathes, saws, presses, and other production equipment. You will also assemble barbells, install components, inspect finished products, package bars in shipping tubes, and assist with receiving, inventory, and shipping when needed.

The ideal candidate enjoys working with machines and tools, building products, learning new skills, and taking pride in producing a quality finished product.

Responsibilities

• Operate CNC lathes, manual lathes, saws, presses, and other manufacturing equipment after training

• Load raw materials and parts into machines and remove completed components

• Monitor machines during production and report quality, tooling, or equipment issues

• Learn basic machine setup, tool changes, and production procedures

• Check parts using calipers, gauges, and other measuring tools

• Help manufacture barbell shafts, sleeves, collars, and related metal components

• Assemble barbells and strength-training equipment

• Install sleeves, bushings, end caps, labels, and other components

• Inspect parts and finished products for fit, appearance, function, and quality

• Package barbells securely in shipping tubes

• Lift, carry, and move steel products weighing approximately 40 to 60 pounds

• Prepare, label, verify, and stage customer orders for shipment

• Receive and organize raw materials, components, and finished products

• Operate pallet jacks, carts, hand trucks, and forklifts when qualified

• Perform basic equipment cleaning and routine maintenance

• Maintain a clean, organized, and safe work area

• Assist with production, assembly, receiving, inventory, and shipping as needed

Qualifications

• Previous manufacturing, machine-operation, mechanical assembly, automotive, construction, maintenance, or production experience is preferred

• CNC or manual lathe experience is helpful but not required

• Comfortable using hand tools, power tools, and measuring equipment

• Strong mechanical aptitude and willingness to learn

• Strong attention to detail and commitment to quality

• Dependable attendance and strong work ethic

• Ability to follow written and verbal instructions

• Ability to work independently after training and as part of a team

• Warehouse, shipping, inventory, Shopify, or ShipStation experience is helpful

• Fitness, powerlifting, or strength-equipment knowledge is helpful

We are willing to train the right person. Mechanical ability, reliability, work ethic, and pride in building quality products are more important than experience in every area.

Physical Requirements

Must be able to stand and walk for most of the shift and regularly bend, reach, push, pull, load, and move products. Must be able to safely and repeatedly handle barbells, steel parts, packages, and materials weighing approximately 40 to 60 pounds.

This position involves working around machinery, steel products, trucks, and normal manufacturing noise.
