Overview
Are you someone who enjoys hands-on mechanical work, problem-solving, and variety in your day-to-day tasks?

- At least 2 years of general shop experience, ideally with mechanical assembly, welding, machining, and equipment repair.
- Strong mechanical aptitude and hands-on problem-solving skills.
- Comfortable working with lathes, mills, drill presses, gas torches, and other shop tools.
- Ability to work safely and follow established procedures.

- Impactful work – play a key role in keeping critical equipment up and running.
- Growth potential – expand your skills in welding, machining, and mechanics with a supportive team.
- Stability – join an established company.
