Hydraulics: Install and plumb hydraulic pumps, valves, reservoirs, and hoses to power heavy equipment
Electrical: Wire electrical systems, including lighting packages, strobe lights, controllers, and camera systems
Quality Control: Test all installed equipment to ensure it operates safely and meets our high standards and manufacturer specifications
 
What You Bring to the Table
Mechanical Aptitude: A solid understanding of hand tools, power tools, and shop equipment
Experience: Previous experience in truck upfitting, heavy equipment repair, or automotive mechanics is highly preferred
Technical Skills:

• Proficiency in welding and metal fabrication
• Ability to read and interpret blueprints and wiring diagrams
• Basic knowledge of DC electrical systems

Physical Stamina: Ability to lift up to 75 lbs, work on your feet, and navigate in and around large truck frames
