Production Technician

The F.O.D. Control Corporation is looking for a reliable, detail-oriented Production Technician to join our manufacturing team. You’ll be assembling the FOD-Razor® friction sweepers, Trac Sweep® traction sweepers, and related equipment that protects runways, airfields, racetracks, and industrial facilities around the world.

This is real, hands-on work — cutting, welding, fitting, coating, and assembling steel-frame sweeper systems that operate in zero-tolerance environments. Every unit we ship has to be built right. If you take pride in craftsmanship and want to build something that matters, we want to talk to you.

• Prepare surfaces and apply powder coating to finished components
• Read and follow technical drawings, work orders, and assembly instructions
• Operate hand tools, power tools, grinders, and light fabrication equipment
• Perform quality inspections throughout the assembly process — check fit, alignment, and weld integrity
• Maintain a clean, organized, and safe work area
• Assist with packaging, crating, and shipping of finished products
• Collaborate with the production team to meet build schedules and delivery deadlines

• 1–3 years of experience in manufacturing, fabrication, or a hands‑on trade
• MIG welding experience — ability to produce clean, structurally sound welds on steel
• Comfortable reading technical drawings and following written assembly procedures
• Proficient with hand tools, power tools, and standard shop equipment
• Strong attention to detail and commitment to build quality
• Reliable, punctual, and able to work both independently and as part of a small team
• Able to lift and move assemblies up to 50 lbs
• High school diploma or GED required

• AWS welding certification or formal welding training
• Experience with metal cutting, grinding, and deburring
• Experience in aviation, aerospace, defense, or automotive manufacturing

• Competitive hourly wage based on experience
• Paid time off and holidays
• Hands‑on work building safety‑critical equipment used worldwide
• A tight‑knit, performance‑driven team where your work matters every day

• Schedule: Full time — 40 hrs./week, Monday–Friday
