Job Description
This role is for experienced mechanical builders only . We are a long-established manufacturer of custom gearboxes and power transmission equipment used in demanding industrial applications. The work is hands-on, precise, and requires real mechanical judgment. Because of the complexity of the products, this is not an entry-level role and is not suitable for inexperienced technicians . If you've spent years building, fitting, and aligning mechanical systems—and you take pride in doing it right—this role offers challenging, meaningful work. Why experienced technicians choose this role You build engineered, custom products , not repetitive mass-production parts The work requires skill, accuracy, and problem-solving Clean, organized shop with proper tools and realistic expectations Stable, long-term employment with respect for craftsmanship Trust and autonomy—no micromanagement What you'll do Assemble industrial gearboxes, reducers, and mechanical systems Fit and align gears, shafts, bearings, housings, and seals Read and interpret mechanical drawings and specifications Measure and verify tolerances using micrometers, calipers, and gauges Perform alignment, torque sequencing, and final adjustments Support functional testing or run-in as needed Required experience (important) This is a skilled position .

Backgrounds that often succeed here Gearbox, reducer, or transmission assembly Machining or CNC with strong assembly/fit-up experience Automotive or heavy equipment powertrain or drivetrain Industrial mechanical maintenance or rebuild work Titles matter less than depth of experience and mechanical aptitude . If this sounds like the kind of work you enjoy—and matches your background—we'd be glad to talk.
