Help Build Something New. Lead Something Meaningful. Pfannenberg is launching a new industrial liquid cooling manufacturing operation in the United States, and we're looking for a hands-on leader to help build it from the ground up. This is not a traditional factory job. We're seeking an experienced plumbing, HVAC Tech or mechanical trades professional who wants to take the next step in their career: helping establish a new manufacturing line, training future team members, and becoming a key contributor to an exciting growth initiative. If you're tired of working in attics, crawl spaces, rooftops, construction sites, bad weather, and unpredictable job locations, this could be the opportunity you've been waiting for. Why Consider This Role? ✅ Stable, year-round indoor work ✅ No crawling through attics or mechanical rooms ✅ No rooftop work ✅ No emergency service calls ✅ No nights or on-call schedules ✅ Clean, professional manufacturing environment ✅ Opportunity to help build and lead a new operation ✅ Career growth into leadership

Assemble industrial liquid cooling systems Install and connect piping, plumbing, and mechanical components Perform copper pipe preparation and brazing Support development of assembly processes and work instructions Train and mentor future assembly technicians Help establish quality standards and best practices Work closely with Engineering and Operations during product launches Become a technical leader within the liquid cooling production team
What We're Looking For:
We care far more about your mechanical aptitude and plumbing experience than whether you've worked in manufacturing before.
Strong plumbing or piping experience Comfortable working with copper tubing and brazing Mechanical aptitude and problem-solving skills Desire to learn manufacturing and assembly processes Interest in helping lead, train, and develop a team Positive attitude and team-first mindset Must be able to travel internationally The Opportunity Most manufacturing jobs ask you to join an established operation.
