Entry-Level Valve Assembly & Test Technician

Entry-Level Valve Assembly & Test Technician

We're looking for a mechanically-inclined, detail-oriented individual to train as a Valve Assembly & Test Technician. This entry-level role supports the assembly, testing, and documentation of custom severe-service ball valves. No prior assembly experience is required — you'll work directly with an experienced Valve Assembly Technician to learn proper assembly, fit, alignment, troubleshooting, pressure testing, and documentation. Since every valve is custom-built, this is hands-on problem-solving rather than repetitive line assembly.

Responsibilities

• Learn to assemble custom ball valve components to precise fit and alignment specifications.

• Work alongside an experienced Valve Assembly Technician to learn proper assembly techniques.

• Perform pressure testing on completed valves to confirm they meet quality standards before approval.

• Troubleshoot fit, alignment, and assembly issues under guidance.

• Complete required documentation and inspection records for each valve.

• Maintain a clean, organized work area and take pride in workmanship.

• Follow all safety procedures and PPE requirements.

• Continue building skills toward becoming a fully trained assembly technician.

Qualifications and Skills

• No prior valve assembly experience required — entry-level candidates are encouraged to apply.

• Strong mechanical aptitude and assembly skills.

• Background or interest in woodworking, automotive/motorcycle work, engine rebuilding, machining, welding, fabrication, equipment repair, industrial maintenance, or vo-tech coursework is a plus.

• Strong attention to detail, cleanliness, and organizational skills.

• Reliable, hardworking, and eager to learn.

• Ability to take direction and follow established procedures.

• Ability to work independently and as part of a team.

• Pride in producing high-quality, correctly completed work.
