• Measuring components accurately and converting measurements to decimals

• Inspecting hydraulic lines and components for wear, leaks, and damage

• Troubleshooting hydraulic and pneumatic systems and performing preventative maintenance

• Removing and replacing seals, rods, barrels, and worn components

• Assisting with pump and valve testing on test benches (training provided)

• Following oil containment, cleanup, and shop safety procedures

• Maintaining a clean, organized, and professional work environment

• Comfort with math, measurements, and precision work

• Working knowledge of hydraulic and pneumatic systems

• Confidence using hand tools, pneumatic tools, and measuring devices

• Ability to read a tape measure and convert measurements to decimals accurately

• Ability to lift and maneuver 40–50 lbs consistently

• Own basic hand tools (hammer, screwdrivers, socket set, etc.)

• Reliability, attention to detail, and willingness to learn

• No certifications required — experience and aptitude matter more than paperwork

Why Join Us?

• Specialized skill-building in hydraulic cylinder repair

• Stable, long-term opportunity with a shop operating since 1985

• Day shift, Monday–Friday schedule — no weekends

• Hands-on work where accuracy and skill are valued

• Affordable health and prescription coverage after 30 days

• Retirement plan available upon permanent hire
