Responsibilities

• Assemble, install, align, and fit mechanical components, fixtures, and subassemblies from drawings, sketches, and verbal instruction
• Perform preventive maintenance, inspection, and repair on production and facility equipment (pumps, motors, compressors, vacuum systems, furnaces, and related hardware)
• Troubleshoot mechanical, pneumatic, and hydraulic issues and drive them to root cause
• Fabricate and modify parts and fixtures using hand tools, power tools, and basic shop equipment
• Read and interpret mechanical drawings, schematics, and equipment manuals
