Since 1975, MetlSaw has been an industry leader in manufacturing high-speed, precision metal-cutting equipment. Our machines are built to deliver exceptional performance, reliability, and accuracy in demanding industrial environments.

We are seeking an **experienced, highly skilled Manufacturing Technician** to join our team in Benicia, California.

**This is not an entry-level position.** We are looking for a hands-on professional with a strong mechanical and electrical background who can work independently, solve complex problems, and take ownership of equipment assembly from start to finish.

The ideal candidate has experience building, maintaining, or repairing industrial machinery and is comfortable working with minimal supervision.

Key Responsibilities

• **Industrial Equipment Assembly:** Independently assemble complex industrial machinery and mechanical systems using engineering drawings, blueprints, schematics, and assembly instructions.
• **Mechanical Systems:** Install, align, adjust, and troubleshoot bearings, shafts, gearboxes, motors, hydraulic components, pneumatic systems, and other precision mechanical assemblies.
• **Electrical Systems:** Perform electrical assembly, wiring, component installation, and troubleshooting of industrial equipment.
• **Troubleshooting:** Diagnose and resolve mechanical, electrical, hydraulic, and pneumatic problems with minimal supervision.
• **Precision Measurement:** Utilize micrometers, dial indicators, calipers, and other precision measuring tools to verify proper fit, alignment, and tolerances.
• **Equipment Testing:** Test completed assemblies, identify performance issues, and make necessary adjustments to ensure proper operation.
• **Blueprint Interpretation:** Read and interpret mechanical drawings, electrical schematics, and technical documentation.
• **Problem Solving:** Identify assembly issues, determine corrective actions, and make appropriate adjustments to meet specifications.
• **Quality Control:** Inspect completed work to ensure equipment meets company quality and performance standards.
• **Shop Operations:** Maintain an organized, safe, and efficient work environment while supporting production goals.

Required Qualifications

• **5+ years of hands-on experience** in industrial equipment assembly, machinery maintenance, mechanical repair, or a closely related field.
• Strong mechanical aptitude and proven experience assembling or repairing complex machinery.
• Experience troubleshooting mechanical and electrical equipment.
• Ability to read and interpret mechanical blueprints, electrical schematics, and technical drawings.
• Proficiency with precision measuring instruments and standard shop tools.
• Experience working with motors, gearboxes, bearings, shafts, and mechanical drive systems.
• Ability to independently diagnose problems and determine effective solutions.
• Strong attention to detail and commitment to quality workmanship.
• Ability to manage assigned work with minimal supervision.
• Dependable, self-motivated, and capable of maintaining a productive work pace.

Preferred Qualifications

• 7–10+ years of industrial machinery assembly or maintenance experience.
• Experience building large industrial equipment or custom machinery.
• Experience with hydraulic and pneumatic systems.
• Industrial electrical wiring and troubleshooting experience.
• Familiarity with PLC-controlled equipment and industrial automation.
• Experience with machine alignment, precision fitting, and mechanical adjustments.
• Welding, fabrication, or machining experience.
• Forklift operation experience.
• Previous experience as an Industrial Maintenance Technician, Millwright, Machine Builder, or Industrial Equipment Mechanic.

What We're Looking For

We value **experience, independence, reliability, and craftsmanship.**

The successful candidate will be someone who:

• Can be given a set of drawings and take a project through assembly with limited supervision.
• Knows how to troubleshoot problems rather than simply identify them.
• Takes pride in building quality equipment.
• Understands how mechanical and electrical systems work together.
• Can contribute immediately without extensive hands-on training.
• Is willing to take initiative and help wherever needed.

Flexible Scheduling

We understand that experienced technicians may be looking for flexibility.

**Full-time and part-time opportunities are available**, including afternoon and weekend schedules. We are open to discussing flexible arrangements with qualified candidates.

This opportunity may be especially attractive to experienced industrial technicians looking for additional hours or a flexible work schedule.
