  • Strong ability to read mechanical prints and interpret engineering drawings
  • Proficiency with hand tools and precision measuring instruments (calipers, micrometers, pi-tapes, etc.)
  • Hands-on experience assembling automated industrial equipment
  • Forklift and crane rigging experience (certifications preferred)
  • Ability to stand, walk, and lift up to 100 lbs as needed
  • Strong communication skills and intermediate proficiency in Outlook, Office, and ERP systems

Preferred:

  • Experience with maintenance or field service
  • Willingness to work significant overtime (highly preferred)

Why This Role Stands Out

  • Explosive growth: Major new contracts—including data center builds for globally recognized tech giants
  • Large pipeline: Over $80M already booked for next year
  • Expansion underway: New facility and increased production capacity
  • High visibility: Your work directly impacts large-scale industrial and tech infrastructure
  • Career opportunity: Strong potential for long-term, stable employment in a booming sector

You should be proficient in:

  • Electrical Schematics
  • Troubleshooting Skills
