About the Role

We are seeking a hands-on, mechanically inclined Trailer Assembler / Mechanical Assembly Technician to join a well-established manufacturer of road maintenance and utility equipment in Burlington.

This is a practical, build-focused role- not a formal licensed technician position. The ideal candidate has experience working with trailers, mechanical assemblies, or similar equipment and enjoys working with tools, wiring, hydraulics, and fabrication-style assembly work.

Experience from trailer shops, utility equipment builders, or similar environments is especially valued.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Assemble trailer frames and mechanical components from drawings and build specs
• Install 12V electrical systems including wiring, lighting, switches, and harnesses
• Mount accessories and customer-specific equipment onto units
• Install and connect basic hydraulic systems (hoses, pumps, valves, fittings)
• Fabricate and assemble hoses using crimping equipment
• Work with brakes, couplers, safety systems, and related trailer components
• Use a wide range of hand and power tools daily
• Reference assembly drawings and visual QC guides on shop computers
• Test electrical, lighting, and hydraulic functions before completion
• Troubleshoot fitment or assembly issues as needed
• Maintain a clean, safe, and organized work area

What We’re Looking For

• 3-5 years of hands-on mechanical assembly or trailer/build experience
• Strong comfort working with tools and mechanical systems
• Experience with trailer wiring (12V systems) is a strong asset
• Basic understanding of hydraulics (hoses, pumps, fittings)
• Ability to read basic drawings or assembly instructions
• Mechanically inclined with good problem-solving ability
• Experience from trailer shops or similar environments is ideal (utility trailers, equipment assembly, etc.)
• High school diploma preferred those who love cars, motorcycles, have learned to tinker and fix their own

Note: This role is not suited to fully licensed mechanics or overly technical/engineering backgrounds looking for design or diagnostic work.

What’s Offered

• Competitive hourly pay: $30-$33/hr
• Full benefits package (dental, vision, etc.)
• Boot/safety allowance ($125/year)
• All tools provided
• On-site parking
• Stable, long-term full-time employment
• 4-day work week (Monday-Thursday, 10-hour days)
• Overtime available on Fridays during busy periods
