Mechanical Assembler – Structural Enclosures
Pay: up to $30/hr
Shift: 1st Shift | Start as early as 6:00 AM
Type: Ongoing Contract (Strong potential for long-term or direct hire)
We are seeking a hands-on Mechanical Assembler to support the structural build of large industrial enclosure units. This is not a light assembly role—this position focuses on the full structural build process, starting with steel framework and finishing with the installation of exterior components such as siding, doors, and windows.
Candidates with structural assembly, construction, carpentry, or metal fabrication backgrounds are highly encouraged to apply. If you take pride in building things that are square, level, and built to last, this is a great opportunity to put your skills to work in a manufacturing environment.
Structural Assembly: Build large industrial enclosure units using heavy steel weldments and framework.
Exterior Installation: Install siding, commercial doors, and windows using proper construction and sealing techniques.
Blueprint Interpretation: Read and interpret mechanical drawings and blueprints to ensure proper assembly and tolerances.
Precision Layout: Use measuring tools and leveling techniques to ensure enclosures are square, aligned, and weather-tight.
Material Handling: Assist with positioning heavy steel frames and moving completed units within the facility.
Quality & Efficiency: Maintain a strong sense of urgency while ensuring high-quality workmanship.
Experience in structural assembly, fabrication, construction, or carpentry
Strong ability to read and interpret blueprints or fabrication drawings
Experience installing siding, windows, doors, or structural components
Familiarity with industrial fasteners, sealants, and installation techniques
Must have a basic personal tool set (impact driver, tape measure, levels, wrenches, etc.)
Strong communication and organization skills
Basic electrical experience is a plus, but not required
Opportunity to work on large, custom-built industrial units
Hands-on role where craftsmanship and precision matter
Stable first shift schedule
Potential to transition into a long-term or permanent position
If you enjoy building and assembling large structural systems and want to be part of a team that creates complex industrial equipment, we’d like to connect with you.
