Job Description

Traveling Mechanical Technician, Aluminum Extrusion Systems

Help keep production moving around the world. Join a team known for precision and reliability in aluminum extrusion presses—and build your career as you go.

Your impact

  • Be the on-site problem solver alongside a lead technician, restoring and maintaining extrusion presses and their ancillary equipment.
  • Contribute at our shop between trips—assembling, building, and repairing high-precision components.

Your starting point

  • No prior experience is required.
  • Strong mechanical inclination, basic hand tool use, and confidence taking apart and rebuilding mechanical assemblies.

Preferred background

  • Millwright or industrial maintenance experience.
  • Welding skills (stick and MIG).
  • Hands-on time with aluminum extrusion and press maintenance.

Grow fast with real training

Start by learning to maintain and service aluminum extrusion presses, then choose where to specialize: welding, hydraulics, PLCs, controls, electrical systems, or engineering fundamentals.

Work and travel rhythm

  • Shop: Monday–Friday, 7:00 AM–3:30 PM.
  • Field: Schedule varies with customer production; weekend work is common. We build in flexibility so you can recharge.
  • Travel: Most trips last 4–5 days. Per diem and travel expenses are covered, typically using company vehicles. For longer projects that span weeks, we rotate team members to minimize time away.

Compensation & benefits

  • Pay commensurate with experience; starting at $18/hour.
  • Comprehensive benefits: health, dental, vision, 401(k), PTO, and profit sharing.
