  • Perform mechanical alignment, machine setup, and precision assembly.
  • Install pneumatic and hydraulic components.
  • Work closely with engineering to resolve design and build issues.
  • Support equipment installation and startup at customer facilities.

Qualifications:
  • 5+ years of experience building custom industrial machinery.
  • Strong mechanical aptitude with experience in precision machine assembly.
  • Working knowledge of industrial controls, sensors, VFDs, servo systems, and electrical troubleshooting.
  • Experience building and wiring industrial control panels.
  • Ability to troubleshoot PLC-controlled equipment (Allen-Bradley experience is a plus).
  • Understanding of machining practices, tolerances, and fabrication methods.
  • Ability to read mechanical drawings, electrical schematics, and pneumatic diagrams.
  • Experience with machine startup and commissioning.
  • Strong problem-solving skills and the ability to work independently.
  • Valid driver's license and willingness to travel up to 20%.

Preferred Experience:
  • Allen-Bradley and Siemens PLCs and HMIs.
  • Servo motion systems.
  • Industrial networking (EtherNet/IP).
  • Robot integration (FANUC, Stäubli, ABB, or similar.

What We Offer:
  • Competitive pay based on experience.
  • Overtime opportunities for employees.
  • Long-term project opportunities for qualified subcontractors.
  • Paid vacation and holidays (full-time employees).
  • Opportunities for advancement.
  • A clean, professional work environment.
  • The opportunity to work on unique, one-of-a-kind automation projects rather than repetitive production work.

If you enjoy building custom machinery, solving technical challenges, and seeing a machine come to life from concept through startup, we'd like to hear from you.
Whether you're looking for a full-time career or you're an experienced independent machine builder seeking a reliable partner for ongoing project work, we want to hear from you.
