• Use precision measuring equipment including calipers, micrometers, and dial indicators to verify specifications.
• Conduct in-process quality inspections and testing throughout the assembly process.
• Troubleshoot and correct out-of-spec conditions discovered during testing and inspection.
• Maintain accurate records of inspections, measurements, and production activities.
• Operate overhead cranes when required for material handling and component movement.
• Support continuous improvement initiatives and assist with problem-solving efforts.
• Collaborate with team members while working independently to meet production goals.
• Follow all safety and quality standards.

Essential Skills

• Experience reading and interpreting blueprints and technical drawings.
• Previous experience as a mechanical assembler in a manufacturing environment.
• Strong mechanical aptitude and experience with bench assembly.
• Hands-on experience using calipers, micrometers, dial indicators, torque wrenches, hand tools, and power tools.
• Ability to perform precision mechanical assembly work.
• Experience working in an industrial manufacturing environment.
• Ability to work both independently and within a team setting.

Additional Skills & Qualifications

• Troubleshooting and mechanical problem-solving experience.
• Experience identifying and correcting quality issues during assembly.

• Experience with electric motors, rotating equipment, pumps, generators, or similar products.
• Entry-level machining experience or familiarity with manual mills.
• Interest in learning frame assembly and machining operations through long-term training and mentorship opportunities.

Enjoy the opportunity to learn specialized electric motor manufacturing and take diverse work with hands-on ownership of the finished product. Be part of a small-team atmosphere where employees make a visible impact and benefit from long-term career growth through cross-training and skill development.
Work Environment
