Job Summary

Texas Power Bars is seeking a dependable, mechanically inclined Barbell Manufacturing & Assembly Technician to join our production team.

This is a hands-on position for someone who enjoys building things, working with tools, making parts, and taking pride in producing a quality finished product.

You will help manufacture barbell components, assemble completed barbells, inspect products, package orders, and prepare products for shipment. This is not strictly a warehouse position. You will be directly involved in building American-made barbells and strength equipment.

The ideal candidate is reliable, detail-oriented, comfortable working with their hands, and interested in learning different areas of manufacturing and production.

Responsibilities

• Assemble barbells and strength equipment
  
  
• Install sleeves, bushings, end caps, labels, and other components
  
  
• Use hand tools, power tools, presses, measuring tools, and shop equipment
  
  
• Assist with operating manufacturing machinery after training
  
  
• Load and unload parts and materials
  
  
• Inspect parts and finished products for fit, appearance, function, and quality
  
  
• Identify and report damaged or defective parts
  
  
• Package completed products securely for shipment
  
  
• Pull, prepare, and process customer orders accurately
  
  
• Help receive, organize, and move materials and finished products
  
  
• Perform basic equipment cleaning and routine maintenance
  
  
• Maintain a clean, organized, and safe work area
  
  
• Assist in other areas of production and shipping as needed
  
  

Qualifications

• Manufacturing, assembly, machine-operation, production, or warehouse experience is preferred
  
  
• Comfortable using hand tools and power tools
  
  
• Strong mechanical ability and willingness to learn
  
  
• Dependable, punctual, and able to follow instructions
  
  
• Strong attention to detail and commitment to quality
  
  
• Able to work independently and as part of a team
  
  
• Able to stand and perform physical work throughout the day
  
  
• Able to safely lift and move barbells, packages, parts, and materials
  
  
• Committed to following workplace safety procedures
  
  

Helpful Experience

Experience in any of the following is helpful but not required:

• Manufacturing or machine-shop work
  
  
• Mechanical or product assembly
  
  
• CNC or manual machine operation
  
  
• Automotive or equipment repair
  
  
• Welding, fabrication, construction, or maintenance
  
  
• Warehouse fulfillment and shipping
  
  
• Shopify or ShipStation
  
  
• Strength training or fitness equipment
  
  

We are willing to train the right person. Reliability, mechanical ability, work ethic, and pride in producing a quality product are more important than having experience in every area.
