Industrial Automation Assembly Specialist — Roofing Equipment
About The Position
You start the morning reviewing detailed mechanical drawings and planning your build sequence. With hand and power tools at the ready, you assemble frames, align drive systems with motors and shafts, fit drums and rolls with precision bearings, and plumb pneumatic and hydraulic circuits. Sensors, brackets, and guarding go on next—everything squared, torqued, and verified. By afternoon, you’re running operational tests, dialing in the last thousandths to hit tolerance and finish specs. Forklifts and overhead cranes help you move major subassemblies safely. You wrap the day by updating documentation, performing preventative maintenance on your tools, and keeping the work area spotless—all while spotting ways to improve the process.
