• 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.

• All tools provided
• On-site parking
