Job description

Description

At Freeman Boatworks, we build premium, high-performance offshore fishing boats with a focus on quality, craftsmanship, and attention to detail. We're looking for a hands-on Pre-Rigging Technician who takes pride in their work and enjoys being part of a fast-paced manufacturing environment.


In this role, you'll work directly with fiberglass components and rigging systems-wetting/laying glass, grinding, cutting, installing fittings, and running hoses to support the build process. You'll play a key role in preparing each boat for final assembly while maintaining high quality standards.


What You'll Be Doing

 Wet/lay fiberglass, grind, and cut holes in decks, hulls, and components

 Install fittings (including ball valves) and run hoses as part of the rigging process

 Use hand and power tools (drills, screw guns, ratchets, etc.) to complete assigned work

 Measure, mark, and inspect parts to ensure accuracy and quality standards are met

 Troubleshoot, repair, and rework components as needed

 Work closely with the Rig Lead, Engineering, and Quality teams to meet production goals

 Follow standardized work instructions, job instructions (JI), and quality criteria

 Assist with equipment setup, adjustments, and changeovers

 Maintain a clean and organized work area

 Stay flexible-move between areas as needed based on production demands


What We're Looking For

 Experience using hand and power tools in a manufacturing or mechanical environment

 Ability to read a tape measure and perform basic measurements accurately

 Strong attention to detail with the ability to identify defects or issues

 Ability to work independently and stay on task

 Problem-solving skills with the ability to troubleshoot with minimal supervision

 Team-oriented mindset with a willingness to jump in where needed


Work Environment & Physical Requirements

 Regular exposure to noise, dust, fumes, and moving equipment in a manufacturing setting

 Ability to lift, push, or pull up to 50 lbs without assistance

 Frequent standing, walking, bending, climbing, and overhead work

 Ability to work extended shifts, including overtime as needed

 Comfortable working in a physically demanding, fast-paced environment

 Must safely use required PPE, including eye protection, gloves, and respirators as needed


What We Offer

 Competitive weekly pay

 Paid time off plus paid holidays

 Comprehensive benefits: medical, dental, vision, company-paid life and disability insurance, and more

 401(k) with company match

 A people-focused workspace built on teamwork and innovation


Please note: Employment is contingent upon successful completion of a background check and drug screening.
