About Us Imagine a company with technology leadership of over 160 years, yet it operates with the energy of a startup. Ingersoll Rand has dedicated itself to Making Life Better for its employees, customers, shareholders, and planets. We produce innovative and mission‑critical flow creation and life science technologies – from compressors to precision handling of liquids, gasses, and powers – to increase industrial productivity, efficiency, and sustainability.

Supported by over 80+ brands, our products are used in various end markets including life sciences, food and beverage, clean energy, industrial manufacturing, infrastructure, and more. Across the globe, we’re driving growth with an entrepreneurial spirit and ownership mindset.

Build it. Prove it. Start it up. On the floor and in the field, this isn’t a stay‑in‑one‑place technician role. As our Manufacturing Systems Technician, you’ll operate in two worlds—splitting your time between hands‑on fabrication in our Sedalia facility (~70%) and field support (~20–30%). From cutting and assembling PVC/CPVC systems (with some stainless in the mix), this is precision, hands‑on work where what you build is exactly what ships—no separation between effort and outcome.

The other 20–30% of the time, you’re on‑site, in front of the customer, watching your system come to life.

You’ll verify installations, run wet and leak testing, and troubleshoot in real time—making the call when something’s off and fixing it before it slows the project down. When things don’t go to plan—and sometimes they won’t—you’re the one who figures it out and keeps everything moving. We’re not standing still either. We’re expanding and actively scaling, with a strong pipeline of projects already lined up.

You won’t be stepping into maintenance mode—you’ll be stepping into build mode, where your impact is visible from day one. If you read mechanical drawings, system layouts, without hesitation, work confidently in fabrication, and communicate clearly when it matters—especially under pressure—you’ll do well here. More importantly, this is for someone who takes ownership when the system is live, not just when it’s on paper.

Bottom line:
This role is built for someone who wants to go beyond building parts—someone who takes pride in building complete systems and seeing them through to successful startup and real‑world performance.
