The Mid-Level Mechanical Assembler is responsible for the hands-on assembly, integration, and testing of mechanical systems—such as valves, pumps, skids, and piping assemblies—used in water and wastewater treatment applications. This role requires experience in interpreting mechanical drawings, using a variety of hand and power tools, and ensuring assemblies meet quality and safety standards. The assembler will support both standard and custom water treatment equipment builds.
Assemble valves, pumps, manifolds, and piping systems onto skids and process units per drawings and specifications.
Torque fasteners, align rotating equipment, and secure mechanical components with precision.
Route and connect hoses, tubing, and fittings; support wiring of actuators and sensors as needed.
Measure, cut, and prep piping (PVC, steel, copper, etc.) to assemble sub-systems.
Support light fabrication tasks, such as drilling, tapping, or grinding for equipment mounting.
Install support brackets, gaskets, flanges, couplings, and related hardware.
Read and follow detailed mechanical assembly drawings, P&IDs, and BOMs.
Conduct preliminary mechanical checks for fit, alignment, and function.
Record build progress, part issues, and deviations in assembly logs or QC forms.
Follow all workplace safety rules including PPE, lifting, and tool safety procedures.
Participate in toolbox talks and contribute to safety-first work culture.
Work collaboratively with QA/QC, engineering, and electrical teams during builds.
Skilled assembly of mechanical equipment in shop/fabrication environments
Reading and applying mechanical drawings and BOMs
Maintaining quality and safety in system integration
Supporting mechanical fit-out and light fabrication
