We're a single-source supplier focused on quality, performance, and value — and our people are the reason we can deliver on that promise. The Role We're looking for a Brake Assembler Technician to build, inspect, and test large-scale industrial brake assemblies used in crane and material handling systems. This role is cross-trained in brake relining and will assist with relining work as production need requires. It's a hands-on shop role for someone with strong mechanical aptitude and a good eye for precision work. What You'll Do Assemble brake components — calipers, rotors, pads, drums, and related parts — according to specifications and drawings. Read and follow written instructions, drawings, and schematics with precision. Clean and inspect used brake components, including use of a parts washer. Take precision measurements (tape measure, calipers) to verify proper fit and tolerance of components. Assemble parts into complete brake units and perform functional tests to verify proper operation. Assist with brake relining duties as production needs require — inspecting linings/pads/shoes for wear and installing new components to manufacturer specifications. Operate, or train to operate, an overhead crane to lift and position large-scale brake components (training provided). May operate an electric pallet jack or stand-up forklift as needed (training and certification provided). Follow all safety protocols and use required personal protective equipment (PPE).
What We're Looking For Required:
Ability to accurately read a tape measure and calipers.
Required:
Ability to lift up to 30 pounds, with or without reasonable accommodation, and to stand, kneel, bend, and reach for extended periods.
Required:
Must supply your own hand tools (a list is provided during the interview/offer process).
Preferred:
Vocational, technical, or trade school training in mechanical, automotive, or industrial maintenance. Current students and recent graduates of trade/technical programs are encouraged to apply.
Preferred:
Prior experience as an assembler, mechanic, or brake technician. Prior brake experience is a strong plus.
Preferred:
Prior overhead crane experience, and/or experience operating an electric pallet jack or stand-up forklift. Comfortable working in a shop environment involving grease, oil, solvents, noise, and moving equipment. Before You Start Employment is contingent on successfully completing a pre-employment drug test and a criminal background check.
