Assembly Mechanic

Assembly Mechanic – Build High-Quality Equipment from the Ground Up

Hands-on work. Advanced equipment. Real impact.

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

If you’re looking for a role where you can strengthen your mechanical skills, work on complex equipment, and be part of a team that values craftsmanship, this is a strong opportunity to grow.
