  • Strong mechanical aptitude and a proven ability to assemble and install equipment
  • Working knowledge across multiple areas, such as hydraulics, pneumatics, fabrication, or light electrical
  • Comfort working independently on small projects with minimal supervision
  • Ability to read mechanical drawings and schematics
  • A willingness to take on work outside your comfort zone

SCHEDULE

  • Lift at least 50 lbs, with exposure to dust, noise, vibration and diesel
  • Wear all required PPE (hard hat, steel toes, safety glasses, hi-vis, hearing protection, and a respirator when required)
