• Interest in gaining additional welding certifications through internal training.
• Ability to work collaboratively with a team and follow established processes.
• Flexibility to adapt to varying tasks, including welding, cutting, assembly, wiring, and kitting.

You will work in a brand-new, well-lit, and clean facility that prioritizes safety, organization, and modern equipment. The company offers internal training, continuous skill development, and opportunities to gain additional certifications, including aluminum welding. You can grow your career by expanding your welding and mechanical assembly expertise while contributing to diverse, interesting projects for multiple industries. The schedule provides weekday hours with some flexibility, supporting a stable routine and work-life balance.

The role is based in a manufacturing facility where teams assemble and fabricate components for a variety of products, including buses, box trucks, heaters, blankets, and tractors, as well as service and piggyback trucks. The warehouse occupies about half of the building, with parts stored on shelves in boxes for efficient kitting and assembly. The facility is new, well-lit, and clean, and work is performed using a range of power tools, hand tools, and mechanical equipment. Different sized overhead cranes are available for lifting larger components, while smaller parts are handled manually. Truck builds, particularly 24-foot piggyback trucks with integrated forklift sections, can be busy and require focus and teamwork to meet production demands. The standard shift runs Monday through Friday from 7:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., with some flexibility for an 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. schedule, and occasional extended hours to 4:30 or 5:00 p.m. as production needs require. Attire is typical for a manufacturing and welding environment, with appropriate work clothing and safety gear used to protect against heat, sparks, and mechanical hazards.
