# Mechanical Assembly Specialist

> Laborup · Greenback, United States · — · Posted 2026-01-16

**Salary:** USD 21–26

**Workplace:** on_site

## Description

**Overview**

We are seeking a Mechanical Assembly Specialist to build complex mechanical assemblies used in the tooling and automation industry. In this role, you’ll assemble high-mix, low-volume equipment—machines and tooling systems that other factories use to make the products people use every day.

This is a job shop environment, not a repetitive assembly line. You’ll work from blueprints and build documentation, assemble a wide variety of components, and bring a strong mechanical mindset to solving fit, function, alignment, and build-quality challenges. We’re particularly interested in hands-on builders who bring energy and tempo to the work—people who enjoy learning, working with a team, and taking pride in assembling things the right way.

Profiles encouraged to apply include: experienced manufacturing assemblers, automotive mechanics (especially engine/repair backgrounds), HVAC technicians, industrial maintenance techs, millwrights, fabricators, and other mechanically minded “tinkerers” who enjoy building and troubleshooting complicated mechanical systems.

-   **Install Pneumatic Components and Air Lines** – Assemble pneumatic actuators, route and connect air lines, and ensure components are installed cleanly, safely, and to specification.
-   **Use a Wide Range of Hand and Power Tools** – Operate common shop tools and equipment to perform advanced mechanical assembly and adjustments in a high-variety environment.
-   **Perform Precision Fit-Up and Alignment** – Execute careful fitting, spacing, and alignment of parts and mechanisms; adjust as needed to achieve required specifications.
-   **Troubleshoot Build Issues and Escalate Smartly** – Identify assembly constraints or quality concerns early, propose practical fixes, and communicate effectively with leads and teammates.
-   **Execute In-Process Quality Checks** – Perform required inspections, verify critical dimensions, and document measurements to support traceability and quality standards.

-   Ability to read and work from blueprints and build instructions
-   Experience using hand tools and power tools in a mechanical, manufacturing, or repair environment

**Preferred Skills**

-   3+ years of manufacturing assembly experience (or equivalent mechanical experience in repair/trades)
-   Backgrounds such as automotive mechanic, HVAC technician, industrial maintenance, millwright, fabrication, or similar hands-on mechanical work
-   Technical degree, certification, or apprenticeship training
-   Comfort with basic computer tools for documentation (e.g., data entry, work instructions)

**The Ideal Candidate**

-   **Mechanical Builder Mindset** – You enjoy complex assemblies, take pride in fit and function, and bring a “figure it out” approach to every build.
-   **Blueprint-Driven Assembler** – You can translate drawings into clean, accurate assemblies and catch issues before they become rework.
-   **High-Tempo Team Contributor** – You bring energy to the floor, communicate clearly, and enjoy building alongside others in a fast-moving job shop.
