Mechanical Assembler

Job Title: Mechanical Assembler Job Description This role focuses on assembling large window units and related components using mechanical skills, hand and power tools, and precise measurement. You will work in sub-assembly and general assembly areas, building, sealing, and finishing units made from large panes of glass, sheet metal, and steel frames. The position requires strong attention to detail, consistent quality checks, and the flexibility to support multiple stages of the production process.

Responsibilities Assemble window units and components in sub-assembly and general assembly areas using hand tools, power tools, and mechanical techniques. Install metal brackets, fasteners, clips, and other hardware onto window units, ensuring secure and accurate fitting. Use caulking guns to seal windows and fill gaps, following established procedures and standards. Perform testing on caulking and sealing products to verify proper sealing and overall integrity of the units.

Paint ends of materials as required and work with insulation materials such as large foam pads, ensuring correct installation. Apply netting and wrapping around final units, ensuring they are properly secured and protected for handling and shipment. Inspect units throughout the assembly process to identify and correct flaws in assembly or final manufacturing. Work safely and precisely with very large pieces of glass, sheet metal, and steel frames, handling units that are approximately waist-high and up to 30 feet long.

Stand and walk for the duration of an 8-hour shift while performing assembly tasks on the production line. Support sub-assembly tasks during production slowdowns or when waiting for units in earlier phases of the workflow. Retrieve materials and participate in unit testing in the yard or testing booth as needed, including going outside to gather materials. Read and interpret blueprints and use tape measures accurately to ensure components are assembled to specification.

Use power tools such as drills and other mechanical equipment safely and effectively in daily work. Meet daily production goals for the assigned department and assembly line, contributing to overall production targets. Participate in cross-training across various areas of the production process and perform different tasks as needed without complaint. Follow quality assurance and quality control procedures, including inspection, fitting, and troubleshooting of assembly issues.

Respond positively to feedback from supervisors and team members and adjust work practices as needed. Demonstrate flexibility by moving to different areas, including insulation areas, and wearing protective clothing such as Tyvek suits when required to keep dust off clothing. Work collaboratively in a team environment, communicating effectively and maintaining a positive, can-do attitude. Essential Skills Minimum 3 years of experience in a mechanical role, such as mechanical assembly, fabrication, fitting, construction, installation, or similar hands-on mechanical work.

2–3 years of experience in the mechanical field, preferably in contractor-type roles. 1–2 years of experience using hand and power tools and tape measures in an assembly, mechanical, or construction environment. 1–2 years of experience reading and working from blueprints. Proficiency in reading a tape measure and using it accurately; candidates must be fully comfortable with tape measure usage. Demonstrated mechanical aptitude and comfort working with large units, glass, sheet metal, and steel frames.

Experience with power tools, including drills and other mechanical tools, in a manufacturing, construction, or home improvement setting. Ability to perform quality assurance, inspection, fitting, troubleshooting, and basic quality control tasks. Ability to stand, walk, and perform physical tasks for an 8-hour shift in a busy manufacturing environment. Strong listening skills, a positive approach to work, and a consistent can-do attitude.
