• 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

• 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

• Experience with vehicle upfitting or trailer builds

• Experience in fabrication or sheet metal shops
