Machine Assembly Technician (Mechanical & Electrical)

Job Description

You will build complete machines, frame to final test: potting machines, tray fillers, conveyors and rice hull blowers that nurseries and greenhouses run every day. One person builds a machine and signs it off. Your name is on it.

This is not a production line job. If your experience is one station doing the same task all shift, this role is not a fit.

What you will do:

- Build complete machines from assembly prints: frames, drivetrains, conveyors, panels and guarding

- Get the fit, alignment and fastening right, using measuring tools and a torque wrench

- Figure out the build order yourself, and solve fit-up problems before they become rework

- As you are signed off: wire motors and controls from wiring diagrams, test the machine, and run the final inspection checklist before it ships

- Crate and package finished machines for shipping, and help in the fab shop when the schedule needs it

- Keep your station, tools, parts and kits organized

What you bring:

- Experience building or repairing complete machines or equipment: industrial or farm equipment, conveyors, vehicles, trailers, HVAC units or similar. Not line or kitting work

- You read assembly prints, and you can work out what goes where when a print leaves something out

- Wiring motors and controls from a diagram is a big plus

- Comfortable with hand tools, power tools, measuring tools and a forklift

- You show up on time, every day, and stay on task

- You own your mistakes and speak up the same day when you are stuck

- Able to lift 50 lbs safely

- MIG welding or press brake experience is a plus

Pay and how you grow:

- $18.59 - $26.24 an hour based on experience, plus overtime.

- Reviews set your pay. You are scored on your work and how you work with people.

- Skill kickers: every skill you are signed off on beyond the job adds $0.25 - $0.75 an hour (motor and control wiring, final inspection sign-off, welding, press brake, machining and more).

- A clear path up to Senior Assembly Technician.\nCompany Description
