  • Maintain a safe, clean, and organized work environment.
  • Follow quality and safety standards, including lockout/tagout procedures.

  • Working knowledge of pump/motor mechanics, measuring instruments, and machining practices.
  • Ability to read schematics, drawings, and layout diagrams.
  • Safety-minded, detail-oriented, and eager to learn.
Why Smith Pump?
