What is machinery installation?

Machinery installation involves the process of setting up industrial machines and equipment at a worksite, ensuring they are safely and correctly positioned, aligned, and connected to necessary utilities. This job often includes assembling machine components, securing them in place, and performing initial testing to verify proper operation. Machinery installers may work with a variety of equipment, from small production machines to large, complex systems in factories or plants. Proper installation is essential for safe operation, optimal performance, and longevity of the machinery.

Re:Build Manufacturing

Rochester, NY • On-site

$27 - $55/hr

Other

Posted 6 days ago

Key responsibilities

  • Install and commission machinery from layout through final alignment using prints, schematics, and technical drawings.

  • Rig, move, assemble, and set equipment with hoists, dollies, rollers, lifts, and cranes.

  • Operate shop machining equipment such as lathes and mills to support installations and repairs.

Job description

Shape how complex machines come to life

At Re:Build Optimation Technology, LLC in Rochester, NY, you’ll help turn engineered concepts into fully functional industrial systems. Our team designs and fabricates custom skids and one‑of‑a‑kind machines, then brings them online with smart automation. We’re employee‑centric, consistently recognized as a Top Workplace, and part of Re:Build Manufacturing—an industrial family dedicated to revitalizing American manufacturing by pairing operational excellence with cutting‑edge technology.

Your day, your craft

Morning starts with a plan: blueprints open, layout lines snapped, safety brief complete. You and the team rig a gearbox into position, align a drive train to tight tolerances using micrometers and optical tools, and lock it down with precision fasteners. After lunch, you might turn a custom bushing on the lathe, support a crane pick, or troubleshoot a conveyor that needs fine‑tuning. Some days are in our shop; others are at mills, plants, and field installations. No two look alike—and that’s the point.

What you’ll tackle
  • Install and commission machinery from layout through final alignment using prints, schematics, and technical drawings.
  • Rig, move, assemble, and set equipment with hoists, dollies, rollers, lifts, and cranes; advanced rigging skills are a plus.
  • Align shafts, conveyors, motors, gearboxes, and related systems with precision instruments (micrometers, squares, optical alignment, plumb bobs, rules).
  • Secure components by bolting, welding, riveting, and fastening to foundations and structures.
  • Operate shop machining equipment (lathes, mills) as needed to support installs and repairs.
  • Assist with troubleshooting, repairs, and preventive maintenance to keep systems running.
  • Work safely—identify hazards on industrial/construction sites and follow OSHA and company standards.
What makes you a match
  • Hands-on builder who takes pride in fit, finish, and accuracy—and enjoys collaborating with engineers, machinists, and fabricators.
  • Physically able to climb, lift, work at heights, and enter confined spaces; comfortable indoors/outdoors in all weather.
  • Can read/write in English and interpret mechanical drawings; basic computer and communication skills.
  • Available for a regular full-time, 40-hour day schedule with overtime/flexible hours when required.
  • Background as a millwright, mechanic, or industrial installer is helpful; senior levels (L4–L5) require demonstrated mastery.
Grow with us

Advance from L1 to L5 through training, mentorship, and progressively complex assignments. We empower you to take on responsibility at the pace you can handle, backed by a highly competent team.

Compensation & incentives

The hourly rate for this role is expected to range from $27.00 to $55.00, depending on education and years of experience. You’ll also be eligible for our annual bonus plan and our long term incentive plan.
