If you’re the kind of mechanic who thrives on real industrial work — lifting, rigging, rebuilding, testing — and takes pride in precision craftsmanship, this role was built for you.

As a Mechanical Assembler, you won’t be doing light or repetitive assembly. You’ll be working hands‑on with large industrial pumps and rotating equipment used in critical water and fluid‑handling systems. Your expertise ensures that essential infrastructure operates reliably and safely where it matters most.

This is a role for someone who wants responsibility, trust, and work that truly matters.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Tearing down, inspecting, repairing, and rebuilding industrial pumps and rotating equipment

• Performing hydrostatic and performance testing using test stands and specialized tools

• Operating overhead cranes, hoists, rigging, and material‑handling equipment

• Reading and interpreting mechanical drawings, work instructions, and test standards

• Prepping, painting, and packaging pumps and components for shipment

• Supporting receiving, stocking, and fulfillment of parts and pump orders

• Maintaining a clean, safe work environment and following lockout/tagout procedures

What We’re Looking For

• High school diploma or equivalent

• 3+ years of experience in:

  • Heavy mechanical assembly

  • Industrial maintenance or repair

  • Pump, motor, gearbox, or rotating equipment repair

• Ability to read mechanical drawings and specifications

• Experience using precision tools (micrometers, dial indicators, torque tools, calipers)

• Comfort working independently in physically demanding environments

• Ability to lift 50+ lbs regularly

• Basic computer skills for work orders and test documentation

• Strong communication, teamwork, and safety focus

Preferred:

• Overhead crane, hoist, or forklift experience

• Background in fabrication, welding, diesel, or industrial equipment

• Experience working in tight assembly cells, enclosed spaces, or elevated positions

What We Offer

• $1,000 Sign‑On Bonus

• $24–$32/hour, based on experience

• 20 days PTO to start + paid holidays

• Day‑one medical, dental, and vision coverage

• Generous retirement savings plan with company contribution

• Paid parental leave

• Tuition reimbursement

• Career progression and skill development

• Wellness programs and employee discounts

• Recognition and reward programs
