Assembly Mechanic Build High-Quality Equipment from the Ground Up
If you enjoy working with your hands, reading prints, and building complex machinery from start to finish, this is an opportunity to join a team where your skills directly contribute to the production of high-performance paving and construction equipment.
As an Assembly Mechanic, you'll work in a modern manufacturing environment assembling mechanical, electrical, and hydraulic systems into fully functional, custom-built equipment.
What You'll Do
In this role, you'll take part in the full assembly process not just one step giving you a broader, more engaging work experience.
Your responsibilities will include:
- Assembling frames, axles, motors, A/C systems, and electrical harnesses
- Building custom equipment based on blueprints and schematics
- Using precision tools such as torque wrenches, ratchets, pneumatic pulse tools, and DC electric wrenches
- Calibrating tools and fixtures to ensure accuracy
- Working with a wide range of fittings, including hydraulic hoses and A/C components
- Performing detailed inspections to ensure equipment meets quality standards
- Collaborating with engineering, purchasing, and production teams
- Adjusting to changing production needs and schedules
- Identifying and communicating issues such as part shortages, discrepancies, or safety concerns
What You Bring
We're looking for individuals with a strong mechanical foundation and a commitment to quality.
Required:
- 2+ years of experience in heavy equipment assembly or mechanical roles (automotive, aviation, or military also considered)
- Ability to read and interpret blueprints, diagrams, and schematics
- Experience working with hydraulics and electrical components
- Understanding of torque specifications and patterns
- Knowledge of O-rings, fittings, and the metric system
- Ability to lift up to 35 lbs
Also considered:
- Automotive technology or trade school experience (even if experience is limited)
- Certifications or formal training in a related field
Why This Role Is Different
This is more than a typical assembly line position. You'll work in an environment that operates like a full mechanical shop, giving you exposure to multiple stages of the build process and more ownership over your work.
You'll benefit from:
- The opportunity to build complete systems, not just repeat one task
- A team-oriented culture with direct support from leadership
- Consistent feedback to help you grow your skills
- Recognition for your contributions, including company celebrations and employee appreciation events
Work Environment
- Clean, modern, and well-organized facility
- Large-scale operation with multiple equipment build lines
- Team-based environment that values collaboration and communication
- Access to professional-grade tools and equipment
Take the Next Step in Your Career
