Engineering Technician

Taras Port Trailers is seeking a motivated and mechanically minded Engineering Technician to join our growing manufacturing team. This is an entry-level engineering position designed for someone who wants broad, hands‑on experience in design engineering, manufacturing engineering, and industrial engineering within a fast‑paced manufacturing environment.

Because Taras Port is a growing company, this position will wear a lot of hats. The Engineering Technician will work closely with Engineering, Manufacturing, and Production to turn ideas and designs into finished products while continuously improving how we build them.

The ideal candidate is someone who enjoys solving problems, learning new things, working on the shop floor, and seeing their work become a physical product.

This is not a position where you will spend all day behind a desk. You will be expected to spend time in the manufacturing environment, work directly with production employees, understand how our trailers are built, identify opportunities for improvement, and help implement solutions.

• Create and modify 3D models and assemblies using SOLIDWORKS.
• Make engineering changes to existing trailer and ramp designs.
• Develop components and assemblies from scratch under the direction of engineering personnel.
• Create and maintain engineering drawings.
• Create and maintain print packets for production.
• Assist with bills of materials (BOMs), part information, and engineering documentation.
• Incorporate engineering changes into existing products.
• Assist with prototype and new product development.
• Work with production personnel to identify design issues and develop practical solutions.
• Review drawings and models for accuracy, manufacturability, and completeness.
• Maintain organized engineering files and documentation.
• Learn Taras Port's products, manufacturing processes, materials, and design standards.
