Job Title: Industrial Machinery Builder

Shift: Day Shift

Salary: $28.00 – $30.00 / hour

Who We Are:

We are a specialized manufacturing shop in the Cleveland area dedicated to designing and building heavy-duty industrial machinery for the steel and tube industries. We operate in a close-knit, collaborative environment where every team member is a true craftsman. We don’t run "lines"—we build complex, fully functional machines from the ground up.

Industrial Machinery Builder Role:

This person is responsible for the complete "A to Z" assembly of sophisticated, commercial-grade machinery. They take raw components and turn them into running, breathing pieces of industrial equipment through a deep understanding of mechanical, electrical, and pneumatic systems.

Industrial Machinery Builder Responsibilities:

  • Execute full-cycle "A to Z" builds of complex, one-off industrial machines including frame assembly and component integration
  • Perform point-to-point wiring of control panels and integrate sensors and PLCs from electrical schematics
  • Plumb complex pneumatic systems featuring multiple solenoid valves and manifolds
  • Utilize manual mills, lathes, and grinders to perform precision tweaks, drilling, and tapping for custom fitment
  • Conduct final testing to ensure equipment is fully functional and meets design specifications
  • Maintain extreme attention to detail to ensure all components are aligned, wired, and fastened correctly without errors
  • Communicate immediately with the team if a build issue or technical roadblock is identified rather than faking a solution
  • Perform consistent deburring of metal parts and preparation of frames throughout the build process

Industrial Machinery Builder Reporting Relationships:

This position reports directly to the Hiring Manager.

About You:

  • Possess extensive experience in a custom machinery OEM or complex maintenance environment like food processing or high-speed packaging
  • Demonstrate strong analytical thinking skills to troubleshoot logic and mechanical issues during the build
  • Recognize standard thread callouts (e.g., 1/4-20 vs. 10-32) and understand corresponding tap drill sizes
  • Read and interpret both mechanical CAD drawings and complex electrical or fluid power schematics
  • Program and set up CNC machines using Mastercam or keypads rather than just operating or loading parts
  • Exhibit a craftsmanship mindset that finds repetitive assembly line or "plug and play" work unfulfilling
  • Maintain a reliable, safety-conscious, and detail-oriented approach to every task
  • Lift up to 50 pounds and maneuver around large-scale industrial equipment

Next Steps:

If you are a detail-oriented craftsman and a natural problem solver, we would like to hear from you.

Additional Information:

  • Benefits: Comprehensive package including Health, Dental, Vision, and Paid Time Off (PTO)
  • Retirement: Savings plan featuring profit sharing
  • Equal Opportunity Employer: We are an equal opportunity employer and value diversity at our company
