Industrial Brake Assembler

Winkle Industries is hiring an Industrial Brake Assembler to join our Brake Department.

This is a hands-on manufacturing position for someone who enjoys working with tools, building mechanical equipment, and seeing the finished product of their work. You do not need previous industrial brake experience. Mechanical or assembly experience is helpful, but we are also interested in candidates who have good mechanical skills and are willing to learn.

As an Industrial Brake Assembler, you will:

• Assemble industrial brake parts and complete brake units.
• Read and follow work instructions, drawings, and basic schematics.
• Take apart used brake assemblies for inspection and repair.
• Clean parts using a parts washer and other cleaning equipment.
• Inspect parts for wear or damage.
• Use a tape measure and calipers to check measurements.
• Repair or replace worn or damaged parts.
• Test completed brake assemblies to make sure they work correctly.
• Use an overhead crane to move larger brake components. Training will be provided if needed.
• Keep your work area, tools, and equipment clean and organized.
• Follow Winkle safety rules and wear required PPE.

You may be a good fit if you:

• Have good mechanical skills and enjoy working with your hands.
• Are comfortable using hand tools.
• Can read a tape measure and use calipers.
• Can follow written instructions and mechanical drawings.
• Pay attention to detail and care about doing quality work.
• Can work safely around heavy equipment and moving machinery.
• Can lift up to 30 pounds, with or without reasonable accommodation.
• Can stand, bend, kneel, and reach throughout the workday.
• Are comfortable working in a manufacturing environment where you may be around grease, oil, solvents, noise, and metal debris.

Previous experience as an assembler, mechanic, maintenance technician, or similar hands-on position is helpful, but not required. Trade or technical school training is also a plus.

Employees in this position are required to provide their own basic hand tools, including a tape measure and calipers, based on the Brake Department tool list.

Winkle Industries builds and services equipment used in industrial material handling systems. We are looking for dependable people who take pride in their work, care about quality, and want to be part of a manufacturing team.

We offer competitive pay based on experience, health insurance, retirement benefits, paid time off, and other company benefits.
