Responsibilities include:

• • Interpret engineering drawings, blueprints, and specifications to fabricate lift devices, including scissor lifts, boom lifts, pallet lifters, and custom lifting solutions.
  • Select appropriate materials, such as steel, aluminum, or composite materials, and use cutting, bending, welding, and machining techniques to fabricate structural components and assemblies.
  • Assemble fabricated components, mechanical systems, hydraulic systems, and electrical systems to build complete lift devices according to design requirements and assembly instructions.
  • Collaborate with engineers to understand project requirements, customization requests, and special features needed for lift devices.
  • Incorporate additional features, accessories, or safety enhancements, such as guardrails, safety harnesses, remote controls, or sensor systems, as required by customer specifications or industry standards.
  • Perform quality checks and inspections throughout the fabrication and assembly process to ensure compliance with design specifications, tolerances, and quality standards.
  • Conduct functional tests, load tests, and safety tests on completed lift devices to verify performance, reliability, and safety features before delivery to customers.
  • Address any defects, discrepancies, or non-conformities identified during inspections or testing, and implement corrective actions to resolve issues and improve product quality.
  • Adhere to safety protocols, procedures, and regulations governing the fabrication and operation of lift devices, including OSHA regulations, ANSI standards, and industry best practices.
  • Ensure that lift devices are designed, fabricated, and tested to meet applicable safety standards and certification requirements, such as CE marking or UL listing.
  • Participate in safety training programs, hazard assessments, and risk mitigation efforts to promote a safe work environment and prevent accidents or injuries.
  • Maintain accurate records of fabrication processes, materials used, labor hours, and equipment maintenance activities to track project progress and costs.
  • Complete documentation for specific job books.
  • Prepare reports, certification documents, and compliance records required for regulatory audits, customer inspections, and warranty claims.
