Position Summary:

Colanar is seeking a hands-on Assembly Technician to join our growing manufacturing team. This is an entry-level opportunity for an individual who enjoys working with tools, building equipment, solving problems, and learning new technical skills. The Assembly Technician will be responsible for assembling, aligning, testing, calibrating, and preparing complex automated equipment and systems for operation.

This position is ideal for someone with strong mechanical aptitude, a solid work ethic, and a willingness to learn. Previous experience in automation or industrial equipment is helpful but not required. Colanar provides hands‑on training from day one and will teach employees how to work with mechanical drawings, electrical schematics, 3D models, pneumatic components, precision measurement tools, and automated equipment.

The majority of the work will be performed in the manufacturing facility. While occasional local travel may be required to assist with an equipment installation, preventive maintenance activity, or other customer need, travel is expected to be limited to short, one‑ or two‑day trips and is not a primary responsibility of the position.

Essential Functions and Responsibilities:

• Assemble automated equipment and machinery using mechanical drawings, assembly prints, 3D models, and other technical documentation.
• Perform mechanical assembly, including fitting, fastening, sanding, polishing, grinding, alignment, and adjustment of components.
• Assemble and install electrical components, wiring, sensors, and other electrical system components according to schematics and instructions.
• Install and connect pneumatic components and systems used in automated equipment.
• Read and interpret mechanical drawings, electrical schematics, wiring diagrams, and assembly documentation.
• Use 3D models and digital engineering tools to identify components, understand assemblies, and complete equipment builds.
• Perform system alignments, calibration, adjustments, and functional testing to ensure equipment meets required specifications.
• Use precision measurement and diagnostic tools such as calipers, amp meters, and dial indicators.
• Assist with troubleshooting mechanical, electrical, pneumatic, and operational issues during equipment assembly and testing.
• Work closely with engineering, manufacturing, and other technical team members to identify and resolve equipment issues.
• Maintain a clean, organized, and safe work environment while following established manufacturing and safety procedures.
• Assist with equipment preparation, modifications, rebuilding, and final testing prior to shipment or installation.
• Participate in occasional local equipment installation or maintenance activities when additional technician support is required.
