Mechanical Assembly Technician

PrideStaff is seeking mechanically inclined individuals for a full-time hardware assembly role in the Tampa area. If you are the type of person who grew up taking things apart just to put them back together, or if you have professional experience wrenching on cars, bicycles, or industrial equipment, this is the perfect opportunity to bring your skills to a fast-paced, indoor production environment.

This role focuses entirely on hands-on mechanical building using standard shop tools. Please note that this is a hardware and framing assembly role, not an electronics or wiring position. We are looking for true builders who know their way around a toolbox and take pride in putting out a solid, finished product.

WHAT YOU WILL DO

• Build, fit, and secure heavy-duty metal frame components and mechanical sub-assemblies.
• Utilize a wide variety of manual hand tools daily, including socket sets, open-ended wrenches, ratchets, screwdrivers, hex keys, and mallets.
• Identify and select the correct hardware for each build, matching thread pitches, bolt grades, and washers accurately.
• Hand-tighten and torque fasteners to precise engineering specifications to ensure safety and durability.
• Perform visual and physical quality checks on your own work, verifying alignments and clearances before the product moves to the next stage.
• Follow visual blueprints, step-by-step build guides, and standard operating procedures.
• Maintain a clean, organized, and fully stocked workstation to keep production moving smoothly.

WHAT WE NEED FROM YOU

• Professional or strong hobbyist mechanical experience is required. Automotive technicians, lube techs, bicycle mechanics, machinery maintenance workers, and mechanical assemblers are highly encouraged to apply.
• A strong, practical understanding of standard and metric hand tools. You should know exactly which wrench or socket to grab for the job without second-guessing.
• High comfort level performing repetitive manual tasks using hand tools rather than relying on power tools.
• Ability to quickly learn and interpret mechanical schematics and illustrated instruction sheets.
• Physical stamina to stand for a full shift, bend, reach, and safely lift up to 50 pounds independently.
• Reliable daily transportation to the Tampa area and a strong track record of on-time attendance.
