Machine Builder

As a Machine Builder, you are responsible for the complete assembly, installation, and testing of advanced metal fabricating machines and systems. You work with a high level of precision and technical expertise to ensure that all machines meet strict quality, alignment, and performance standards. Based on technical drawings, schematics, and specifications, you independently plan and execute complex assembly sequences. You build machines and sub-assemblies from the ground up, ensuring accurate fitting, alignment, and adjustment of all mechanical, electrical, hydraulic, and pneumatic components. You play a key role in ensuring the final quality and functionality of each machine by performing detailed testing, diagnosing issues, and making necessary adjustments. In addition, you support and guide less experienced assemblers in complex tasks, contributing to overall team performance and knowledge sharing. You also maintain a clean and organized workspace, follow safety and quality procedures, and may occasionally travel to customer sites to assist with installation, maintenance, or repairs.
