Assembler

Why Mid-States

Mid-States Companies fabricates, assembles, and constructs equipment for grain handling, food processing, renewable energy, commercial building, and heavy industrial projects nationwide. We're growing fast, and we run on three things: ownership of your work and its quality, tenacity to solve problems and hit deadlines, and stewardship of our people, equipment, and reputation. If that sounds like how you operate and thrive, you'll fit right in.

We offer to pay 100% of your health, dental, and vision insurance premiums — not a contribution toward it, the whole thing. That's paired with 401(k) match, profit sharing, a boot & clothing allowance, and paid parental leave, because we believe taking care of our people is how we build a team that lasts.

Who Thrives Here

Ownership — you take personal accountability for world-class results

Stewardship — you take care of the people, equipment, and resources entrusted to you

Tenacity — you bring urgency, grit, and perseverance to everything you do

We've built this company without ever needing a layoff — and we plan to keep it that way. As we grow, we want our people growing with us: taking on new skills, more responsibility, and building a career here rather than just working a job. If you're looking for a team that will invest in you for the long haul, we'd love to talk.
