If you’re a hands-on mechanical assembler who enjoys building equipment from the ground up—and seeing the finished product roll out the door—this is your opportunity.

We’re looking for skilled builders to assemble truck- and trailer-mounted asphalt equipment.

What You’ll Do

• Build from start to finish – Assemble complete truck and trailer units using detailed prints and procedures
• Hands-on mechanical work – Use hand and power tools to build subassemblies like:
• Engine cabinets
• Control boxes
• Material handling components
• Final assembly – Bring it all together into fully operational, field-ready equipment
• Install major components – Mount 2–4 ton hoppers, install burners (LP & diesel), and integrate heating systems
• Electrical work – Run wiring harnesses, install control systems, and make final connections
• Work across systems – Gain experience with:
• Diesel systems
• Hydraulics & pneumatics
• 12-volt electrical
• Read prints & schematics to ensure precision and quality
• Collaborate with a skilled shop team to keep builds moving and meet production goals

What You Bring

• Strong mechanical aptitude and pride in hands-on work
• Experience assembling trucks, trailers, or heavy equipment (or similar)
• Ability to confidently use hand and power tools
• Comfort reading blueprints and schematics
• Familiarity with electrical basics, hydraulics, or diesel systems
• Attention to detail—you build it right the first time
• A team-oriented attitude and commitment to safety

Bonus if you have:

• Diesel technician experience
• Hydraulic or power transmission knowledge
• Experience with vehicle upfitting or trailer builds
• Experience in fabrication or sheet metal shops

Why You’ll Want This Job

✅ Build complete equipment—not just parts
