As a Heavy Machinery Assembler , you won’t be doing light or repetitive assembly. You’ll be working hands‑on with large industrial pumps and rotating equipment used in critical water and fluid‑handling systems. Your expertise ensures that essential infrastructure operates reliably and safely where it matters most.

This is a role for someone who wants responsibility, trust, and work that truly matters.

• Tearing down, inspecting, repairing, and rebuilding industrial pumps and rotating equipment

• Performing hydrostatic and performance testing using test stands and specialized tools

• Operating overhead cranes, hoists, rigging, and material‑handling equipment

• Reading and interpreting mechanical drawings, work instructions, and test standards

• Prepping, painting, and packaging pumps and components for shipment

• Supporting receiving, stocking, and fulfillment of parts and pump orders

• Maintaining a clean, safe work environment and following lockout/tagout procedures

You’ll support Pewaukee’s production operations on 2nd shift , partnering closely with manufacturing and quality teams to ensure every pump shipped meets Xylem’s high mechanical and performance standards.

• High school diploma or equivalent

• 2+ years of experience in:

• Ability to read mechanical drawings and specifications

• Experience using precision tools (micrometers, dial indicators, torque tools, calipers)

• Comfort working independently in physically demanding environments

• Ability to lift 50+ lbs regularly

• Basic computer skills for work orders and test documentation

• Strong communication, teamwork, and safety focus

• Overhead crane, hoist, or forklift experience

• Background in fabrication, welding, diesel, or industrial equipment

• Experience working in tight assembly cells, enclosed spaces, or elevated positions

You’re hands‑on. You’re mechanically sharp. You understand that quality, alignment, torque, and testing matter — because failure isn’t an option. You take pride in building equipment the right way and being part of a team that delivers results you can stand behind.

• $1,000 Sign‑On Bonus

• $24–$32/hour , based on experience

• +10% 2nd Shift Differential

• 20 days PTO to start + paid holidays

• Day‑one medical, dental, and vision coverage

• Generous retirement savings plan with company contribution

• Paid parental leave

• Tuition reimbursement

• Career progression and skill development

• Wellness programs and employee discounts

• Recognition and reward programs

If you’re looking for more than “just another assembly job” — and want challenging, high‑impact mechanical work with long‑term growth — we’d love to meet you.

Apply today and help build the equipment that keeps water moving where the world needs it most.
