Join a growing industrial equipment manufacturer building custom-engineered machinery used in advanced manufacturing and material handling environments. This is a highly hands-on role ideal for someone who enjoys machine building, controls troubleshooting, electrical work, and solving real-world mechanical challenges. This position offers a unique blend of in-house assembly and field service support, giving technicians the opportunity to work on complex equipment from build through startup and customer installation.

Why This Opportunity Stands Out:

• 4-day work week (Monday–Thursday)
