What you would own
- Read and build from highly detailed multi-view mechanical drawings, assembly blueprints, and pneumatic/hydraulic fluid power schematics to establish proper build sequencing.
- Utilize On-Floor 3D Modeling: Access 3D CAD digital models directly at shop-floor workstations to verify spatial relationships, check mechanical clearances, and inspect complex sub-assemblies in real time.
- Layout, bend, route, and mount complex pneumatic manifolds, valve blocks, and high-pressure hydraulic circuits neatly onto machine frames.
- Partner directly with mechanical design engineers on-site to troubleshoot assembly bottlenecks, verify tolerances, and resolve design deviations on the fly.
- Teardown & Crating: Oversee the tactical breakdown, match-marking, packing, and crating of completed custom machines to prepare them for customer transport and field installation.
What they are looking for
- If you are a true mechanical craftsman who hates the repetitive monotony of high-volume line assembly and wants a technical home where genuine problem-solving skills are valued, this custom machine building role offers an ideal destination.
- Operating as an established, long-standing custom automation provider in the Pewaukee area, this industry pioneer has spent decades designing and building high-specification, one-of-a-kind machinery for global manufacturers.
- Rejecting rigid corporate silos, this shop fosters a tight-knit environment where mechanical builders, electrical wiremen, and engineering staff work side-by-side on the floor from day one.
- Every system born on this production floor is a custom, complex automation asset integrating cutting-edge controls, robotics, vision systems, and fluid power loops.
- Once a project hits the floor, you have end-to-end ownership of the build, the creative freedom to finesse mechanical alignments, and a direct line to engineering.
- Backed by an opening created by an upcoming retirement, excellent job security, and modern CAD-equipped workstations, this environment provides an exceptional long-term home for a proud trades professional.
