Engine Assembly Technician

New Build Engine Assembly Technician

Position Summary

The New Build Engine Assembly Technician is responsible for the blueprint-accurate blueprint, component preparation, and ground-up assembly of new industrial engine networks and specialized thermal propulsion systems. Unlike a standard teardown mechanic, this role centers on high-precision, repetitive manufacturing, initial system integration, and quality-controlled commissioning of new machinery before it is entered into the commercial fleet.

Key Responsibilities

• Ground-Up Engine Assembly: Build complex diesel power systems and specialized flameless heating core assemblies from the bare engine block/housing to a fully completed, production-ready unit.
• Precision Specification Alignment: Utilize engineering drawings, schematic diagrams, and strict manufacturer assembly manuals to install internal and external engine accessories to exact torque and spatial tolerances.
• Component Verification & Prep: Inspect new parts out of the crate for finish imperfections, material defects, or dimensional variations; perform initial fitments and pre-lubrication of moving assemblies using specialized assembly lubes.
• Fluid & Electrical Integration: Route and secure brand-new high-pressure fuel lines, hydraulic networks, coolant plumbing, and electrical wire harnesses directly onto the newly built engine chassis.
• First-Run Commissioning: Assist the Quality Control team with initial fluid primes, starting sequences, and multi-point break-in testing procedures.
• Production Quality Documentation: Maintain rigorous assembly logs, recording electronic torque signatures, part serial numbers, and clearance measurements to ensure absolute traceability for the manufacturing division.

Required Qualifications

• Experience: 2 years of dedicated experience in an engine manufacturing plant, specialized assembly-line facility, or high-volume engine-building environment (e.g., aviation, motorsports, or heavy equipment production).
• Technical Interpretation: High proficiency in reading and translating complex mechanical blueprints, structural schematics, and geometric dimensioning tolerances (GD&T).
• Precision Tools: Experienced with calibrated assembly equipment including electronic click and dial torque wrenches, feeler gauges, and pneumatic component lifting hoists.
• Core Competencies: Detail-oriented focus with the ability to maintain repetitive accuracy and high cleanliness standards on an active shop floor.
