This entry-level role supports the assembly, testing, and documentation of custom severe-service ball valves. No prior assembly experience is required — you'll work directly with an experienced Valve Assembly Technician to learn proper assembly, fit, alignment, troubleshooting, pressure testing, and documentation.

Responsibilities Learn to assemble custom ball valve components to precise fit and alignment specifications. Work alongside an experienced Valve Assembly Technician to learn proper assembly techniques. Perform pressure testing on completed valves to confirm they meet quality standards before approval. Troubleshoot fit, alignment, and assembly issues under guidance. Complete required documentation and inspection records for each valve. Maintain a clean, organized work area and take pride in workmanship. Follow all safety procedures and PPE requirements. Continue building skills toward becoming a fully trained assembly technician. Qualifications and Skills No prior valve assembly experience required — entry-level candidates are encouraged to apply. Strong mechanical aptitude and assembly skills. Background or interest in woodworking, automotive/motorcycle work, engine rebuilding, machining, welding, fabrication, equipment repair, industrial maintenance, or vo-tech coursework is a plus. Strong attention to detail, cleanliness, and organizational skills. Reliable, hardworking, and eager to learn. Ability to take direction and follow established procedures. Ability to work independently and as part of a team. Pride in producing high-quality, correctly completed work.
