Speedway Packaging Machinery designs, builds, installs, and services custom packaging machinery and automated equipment for customers across the region.

This is more than an assembly position. You will have the opportunity to develop skills across mechanical assembly, fabrication, welding, machining, pneumatics, electrical wiring, automation, controls, commissioning, and field service.
If you have strong mechanical aptitude and enjoy working with your hands, this position can develop into a career as a Machine Builder, Automation Technician, or Field Service Technician.
What You'll Do
Working primarily in our shop, you will build, test, and commission custom packaging machinery.
Responsibilities include:
- Assemble and build custom packaging machinery and automated equipment
- Perform mechanical assembly, fabrication, and machine installation
- Install pneumatic components, tubing, and systems
- Complete electrical wiring and connections
- Read and interpret mechanical drawings, bills of materials, pneumatic schematics, and electrical wiring diagrams
- Test completed machinery and participate in Factory Acceptance Testing (FAT)
- Inspect equipment for quality, accuracy, and proper operation
- Troubleshoot mechanical, electrical, and pneumatic problems
- Assist with machine commissioning and start-up
- Develop skills in welding, conventional milling, lathe machining, automation, and controls
- Maintain a clean, organized, and safe work environment
- Occasionally travel to customer sites for installation, commissioning, troubleshooting, and service
