Job Title: Mechanical Assembler

Job Description

This role involves assembling industrial sweeping machines by following detailed work instructions and using a variety of hand and power tools. You will work at multiple assembly stations to build and integrate hydraulic, electrical, and mechanical subassemblies into a complete machine. The position requires strong mechanical aptitude, careful attention to detail, and the ability to work safely and efficiently in a structured manufacturing environment.

Responsibilities

• Assemble industrial sweeping machines by following written work instructions and established procedures.
• Use hand and power tools, including screw guns, sockets, wrenches, and related equipment, to assemble mechanical, hydraulic, and electrical components.
• Work through four progressive assembly stations, completing approximately 4–5 hours of assembly work at each station.
• Install key components such as brakes, tires, engines, lift arms, radiators, hoses, wiring harnesses, and subassemblies as required.
• Electrify the machine by installing and connecting electrical components and harnesses according to specifications.
• Install sheet metal panels and the hopper during the final assembly stage, ensuring proper fit and finish.
• Verify that all fasteners, nuts, bolts, and connections are secure and meet quality standards.
• Follow safety guidelines and use tools and equipment in a safe and responsible manner.
• Maintain a clean and organized work area within the assigned assembly station.
• Collaborate with team members and communicate any issues, defects, or process improvements to supervisors or leads.
• Meet productivity and quality expectations for each assembly station within the allotted time.

Essential Skills

• Proficiency with hand and power tools, including screw guns, sockets, wrenches, and other basic mechanical tools.
• Experience performing mechanical assembly, heavy assembly, or similar hands-on mechanical work.
• Ability to assemble hydraulic components and related mechanical systems.
• Basic understanding of electrical and subassembly installation in a manufacturing or mechanical environment.
• Capability to handle repetitive tasks and stand for extended periods while working at assembly stations.
• Strong attention to detail and commitment to producing high-quality work.
• Ability to work safely in a manufacturing environment and follow all safety procedures.

Additional Skills & Qualifications

• Experience in mechanics, such as automotive, diesel, or equipment repair, is highly beneficial.
• Experience with engine repair or mechanical hobbies that involve tools and assembly work.
• Prior experience in manufacturing, mechanical assembly, or related industrial environments.
• Training from trade schools or technical programs related to mechanics or industrial technology.
• Experience gained from military mechanic roles or similar technical positions.

Why Work Here?

You will work in a clean, climate-controlled facility with a consistent schedule and a supportive team-focused culture. The environment emphasizes safety, good communication, and respect among coworkers, making it a place where people enjoy coming to work. When you transition to permanent status, you can access a comprehensive benefits package that includes health, vision, dental coverage, and a 401(k) plan, supporting both your well-being and long-term financial security.
