Bring Your Mechanical Skill and Eye for Detail to a Growing Team

If you take pride in precision, enjoy troubleshooting mechanical systems, and keep your workspace and paperwork in top order, this role is built for you.

We are seeking a Shop Assistant who combines hands-on mechanical aptitude with solid organizational habits. In this role, you will be the backbone of our shop floor and yard operations—handling trailer assemblies, preventative maintenance, parts installations, inventory control, and customer-facing inspections.

What You’ll Do

• Hands-On Mechanical Service: Perform installations, preventative maintenance, warranty work, and repairs on trailers and shop equipment using power tools, diagnostic tools, and welding gear.

• Inspections & Quality Control: Execute thorough Pre-Delivery Inspections (PDI) and Post-Labor Inspections (PLI) to guarantee every trailer leaves the yard road-ready and built to spec.

• Organized Inventory & Receiving: Log inbound shipments of trailers, parts, and shop supplies; audit invoices against deliveries; and keep yard and shelf inventory accurate and clean.

• Facility & Equipment Upkeep: Safely operate tractors and forklifts, maintain facility key controls, and ensure the shop remains clean, compliant, and OSHA-ready.

• Customer Interaction: Walk customers through their completed trailer setups, explain installed accessories, recommend relevant parts for their hauling needs, and assist store sales when needed.

What Makes You the Ideal Candidate

• Mechanically Inclined: You know your way around power tools, standard shop equipment, basic wiring, and mechanical assemblies. Welding or fabrication experience is a strong plus.

• Process-Driven & Organized: You do not cut corners. Whether logging inventory, reviewing repair orders, or managing paperwork, you keep details straight and schedules on track.

• Practical Problem Solver: You can interpret diagrams, technical manuals, and measurement specs to diagnose mechanical issues and calculate proper fits.

• Safety-First Mindset: You treat tools, heavy machinery, and shop spaces with respect, maintaining high standards for personal and team safety.

Qualifications

• High school diploma or equivalent.

• 6–12 months of hands-on experience in mechanical repair, equipment maintenance, automotive service, assembly, or a related trade.

• Ability to safely lift 50–75 lbs regularly, climb ladders, and work outdoors in varying weather conditions.

• Ability to obtain company certification on forklift, tractor, and welding equipment (training provided).

• Basic computer literacy for logging work orders, processing parts, and tracking inventory.

• Valid driver's license (must be able to obtain/maintain a state sales license where required by law).

What We Offer

• Health & Wellness: Comprehensive Health, Dental, and Vision Insurance

• Financial Security: 401(k) with Employer Match
