About The Position

Mechanical Equipment Assembly Technician assembles, configures, and prepares mechanical equipment and systems for operation at Modular Mission Critical, M.C. Dean’s manufacturing campus for modular products serving datacenters and critical infrastructure. Equipment includes HVAC systems, chillers, package units, air handlers, pumping systems, boiler packages, skids, and custom-engineered assemblies. The role requires interpreting mechanical drawings, piping diagrams, equipment layouts, assembly instructions, and bills of material; installing and aligning mechanical components; checking fit-up and alignment; and performing integrity checks and functional testing. Completed assemblies are prepared for factory testing, shipment, installation, and commissioning, with attention to maintenance access and serviceability. The role covers equipment-specific assembly work involving packaged rooftop units, chillers, air handling units, pumping systems, boiler systems, and custom mechanical skids. The position requires a high school diploma or GED and 7+ years of experience. The stated pay range is USD $29.00–$34.74 per hour.
