If you’re an experienced mechanical assembler or machine builder who’s ready to take the lead, this could be a strong next step.
We’re looking for a Mechanical Assembly Coordinator to lead our Indianapolis assembly team while staying hands-on with the work. You’ll help organize the day, support and develop the team, solve mechanical problems, and keep custom industrial bakery equipment moving from parts and drawings to a fully assembled, working machine.
This is not a desk-only supervisor role. We want someone who is comfortable leading people, reading prints, troubleshooting equipment, and jumping in when the team needs help.
What You’ll Be Doing- Lead and support a team of mechanical assemblers
- Set daily priorities and help keep builds on schedule
- Assemble, fit, align, adjust, and troubleshoot industrial machinery
- Read and work from engineering drawings, assembly prints, and bills of materials
- Help resolve fit, tolerance, alignment, and mechanical-function issues
- Work closely with Engineering and Manufacturing to keep projects moving
- Support machine testing, start-up, and debugging
- Coach team members and help develop their skills
- Keep a strong focus on safety, quality, productivity, and workmanship
- 5–7 years of industrial mechanical assembly or machine-building experience
- Experience working on custom machinery, industrial equipment, conveyors, or capital equipment
- Previous lead, Coordinator, or supervisory experience
- Strong mechanical troubleshooting skills
- Ability to read and interpret engineering and assembly drawings
- Experience with components such as bearings, shafts, gearboxes, belts, chains, drives, motors, and conveyors
- Comfortable using precision measuring tools, hand tools, and power tools
- Someone who is organized, dependable, and comfortable making decisions on the production floor
- Willingness to work hands-on alongside the team
- Must possess or be willing to obtain forklift certification
- Competitive pay and comprehensive benefits
- Stable work with a growing company
- A well-equipped manufacturing facility
- Hands-on leadership where your experience matters
- Opportunity to help build complex equipment from the ground up
- Room to grow both technically and as a leader
If you know how to build machinery, solve problems, and lead a team, we’d like to talk with you. Apply today.
