Mechanical Installer

Talascend is currently seeking a Mechanical Installer for a contract opportunity located in Fort Wayne, IN.

Crew will be going onsite to modify the existing conveyor system to support a new bin size and improve tracking as product moves through the system. This work has two main components:

• The current conveyor columns/guides were built for former bin dimension.
• Crew will be replacing column components (guides, supports, brackets) to properly accommodate the new bin width/height.
• The goal is to ensure:
  • Bins travel smoothly without binding or shifting
  • Proper alignment is maintained throughout the conveyor path
  • Adequate clearance is in place to prevent jams or damage
• What to expect:
  • Measuring and verifying new bin dimensions onsite
  • Removing or repositioning existing hardware
  • Installing updated guide rails or column extensions
  • Checking spacing consistency across all lanes/machines

• Crew will be adding sensors along the conveyor to detect and track bins as they pass key points.
• These sensors will help the system:
  • Identify bin presence
  • Trigger downstream actions (routing, scanning, or counting)
  • Improve overall system visibility and efficiency
• What to expect:
  • Mounting sensors at designated locations on the conveyor frame or columns
  • Aligning sensors to ensure accurate reads (line of sight and distance are critical)
  • Running and securing cabling back to control panels or junction points
  • Coordinating with controls/PLC team for testing and integration

• After install, crew will:
  • Run bins through the system to confirm smooth travel
  • Verify sensors are detecting consistently
  • Make any needed adjustments to alignment or positioning

Background Check and Drug Screen may be required.
