The Assembler position with Medix is a 3 month contract to hire position with a large engine and generator manufacturer with facilities in Darien and Beloit, Wisconsin. In this role, you will be responsible for assembling large generators and enclosure systems that are used for backup power at places such as hospitals and data centers. There will be a 3 week training program that you will automatically be enrolled in starting your first day where you will learn how to assemble the units from ground up using hand and power tools. Work will require you to climb on ladders, use lifts, work with insulation and wear protective PPE (such as Steel Toed Boots) at all times.

Why work as an Assembler with Medix?

As an Assembler, you will be working at a company that is expected to grow significantly in the coming year. The company you will be working with is eager to convert you to a full time employee quickly (as soon as 3 months) where you will have access to outstanding benefits and PTO. There are also many career advancement pathways in this opportunity that can lead to advanced assembly, electrician or leadership roles as the company expands. The company you will be assigned to has recently purchased a new facility in Beloit and is in process of expanding the existing facility in Darien - a lot of growth happening! You will also be eligible for profit sharing from day 1 of starting at Medix. Depending on how the company performs, you can earn a bonus of up to $6,000.00. There are other incentives including perfect attendance awards and raffle prizes quarterly!

What you will be doing:

• Complete 4 week training program on generator / enclosure assembly process (full process from base to frame to roof and final assembly)
• Work with hand and power tools to complete assembly tasks including drills, torque wrenches, screwdrivers, hammers, etc. (All tools will be provided for you!)
• Assemble power generator casings both sub assembly and final assembly (including alternators, brackets, flywheels, motor mounts, starters and harnesses)
• After converting to a permanent employee (3 months) you will be eligible for continued training and growth into advanced assembly and electrical positions, or even leadership!
• There is a lot of help and training provided, all tools are there for you and a team who is ready to help you succeed!

What we are looking for:

• Experience using hand and power tools
• (drills, screw drivers, wrenches, measuring tape, gauges) either in a professional setting or at home. Please be prepared to share some examples with us! This is a very hands-on position.
• Ability to read a tape measurer:
• DISCLOSURE: You will be given a measuring assessment and have to read a ruler during your interview!
• Comfortable climbing ladders
• The generators are tall and require lifts and ladders for roof and high point assembly, all members are required to climb ladders. If you are afraid of heights, this might not be for you!
• Comfortable working with insulation.
• We want to be upfront about this! Insulation can get itchy so we recommend wearing gloves and having a long sleeve shirt handy. A special insulation is used that is not as itchy as other types, but please be aware!
• Comfortable working in a manufacturing environment
• Manufacturing can be loud, can get hot during the summer and is fast paced! But ultimately there are so many great aspects of the environment as well including a great cafeteria, top of the line facilities and tools and a helpful team!
• Own a pair of steel toe boots
• Once you convert after 3 months you will get a stipend to purchase these, but starting this position you will be required to have your own steel toe boots / shoes!
• Ability to lift 40 lbs regularly
• There will be lifting!
• Ability to work on feet for extended periods
• This is not an assembly line position. You will be standing and moving around so please be aware!
• Committed to attendance
• We understand the hours are long, but with that the pay is great as well. We need people who are going to show up on time and not let their teammates down!
• Contribute to a great culture!
• We are willing to train and work with anyone who has a great attitude and meets these requirements. We are also committed to helping people grow quickly who have a positive attitude!
