Mechanical Assembler

Job Title: Mechanical Assembler

Job Description

The Mechanical Assembler will build large palletizing machines from start to finish by interpreting blueprints and assembling complex mechanical and electrical components. This role focuses on full machine builds rather than repetitive station or assembly line work and requires strong mechanical aptitude, precision, and hands-on experience with machine building and assembly tools.

Additional Skills & Qualifications

• Experience with machine building in a production or manufacturing environment.

• Familiarity with brazing techniques used in mechanical assembly.

• Exposure to electrical assembly or working with schematics during machine builds.

• Strong attention to detail when working on large, complex machinery.

• Ability to follow structured assembly processes while working independently on full builds.

• Solid problem-solving skills for addressing mechanical and assembly-related issues.

Work Environment

Schedules: 1st shift (6am-2:30p) and 2nd shift (2:30-11p). The role is based in a large, manufacturing facility focused on building palletizing machines and related equipment. The workspace is climate controlled, although temperature can be harder to regulate due to the size of the facility. Team members work with a variety of hand and power tools, measuring devices, and assembly equipment around large machinery and components. The environment supports full machine builds rather than repetitive line work, and the physical nature of the job includes lifting and moving heavy parts as part of daily activities.
