The ideal candidate has experience with basic fabrication equipment, strong attention to detail, and a commitment to accuracy and efficiency.

Essential Duties and Responsibilities :

• Operate saw systems (manual and automated) to cut aluminum, stainless steel, or composite materials to specified lengths and angles based on blueprints or job travelers.
• Use tube and bar bending equipment to form parts to exact radii and configurations, verifying tolerances with jigs or measurement tools.
• Perform part prep functions including deburring, hole drilling, surface finishing, and labeling or tagging components for assembly or inventory.
• Read and interpret job orders, engineering prints, and cut lists to ensure accurate fabrication and correct material selection.
• Perform routine maintenance on shop equipment and maintain a clean and organized work area in accordance with 5S and safety standards.
• Assemble prefabricated parts into mechanical subassemblies following production drawings, work instructions, or build fixtures.
• Ensure each subassembly is built to specification and inspected for fit, finish, and function before release to downstream departments.
• Communicate with quality and assembly teams to resolve part issues or inconsistencies and support production schedules.
• Support continuous improvement efforts related to quality, efficiency, and workflow in the subassembly process.

Skills and Knowledge Requirements :

• Basic mechanical aptitude with the ability to safely operate saws, benders, and general fabrication equipment.
• Basic mechanical assembly skills with an understanding of part alignment, fastener installation, and jig-based assembly.
• Ability to read and understand technical drawings, blueprints, and measuring devices (tape measures, calipers, angle finders).
• Familiarity with materials common to marine manufacturing, including aluminum tubing, stainless steel components, and composites.
• Strong organizational skills and attention to detail to ensure consistent, high-quality part output.
• Ability to follow build documentation accurately and maintain consistency across multiple builds.
• Ability to lift materials up to 50 lbs, stand for extended periods, and work in a fast-paced, production-driven environment.
• Knowledge of workplace safety practices, PPE usage, and handling of sharp or heavy materials.
