Role Summary

To perform precision mechanical assembly, alignment, and mechanical quality verification for industrial equipment, following approved work instructions and standard operating procedures, and ensuring all mechanical work meets required quality and accuracy standards.

Key Responsibilities

1. Mechanical Assembly & Installation Assemble and install mechanical components, modules, and sub ‑ assemblies according to approved work instructions. Carry out mechanical assembly work involving: Structural assemblies Linear motion components Rotational and sliding mechanisms Mechanical drive and support parts Ensure correct assembly sequence, fit, and positioning of components.
2. Mechanical Alignment & Adjustment Perform mechanical alignment and adjustment to ensure smooth movement, correct geometry, and positional accuracy. Carry out tasks such as: Equipment leveling Straightness and parallelism adjustment Squareness and alignment checks between moving parts Adjust shims or spacers where required and ensure final settings meet specifications.
3. Torque Control & Fastening Tighten mechanical fasteners using specified torque values and approved tools. Ensure consistent tightening, correct fastener length usage, and proper fastening practices. Apply required identification or marking after tightening where specified.
4. Precision Measurement & Mechanical Verification Conduct mechanical measurements using precision instruments such as: Dial indicators Precision levels Measuring gauges and micrometers Verify mechanical accuracy including: Runout Straightness Parallelism Concentricity Confirm results meet defined tolerances before proceeding to the next stage.
5. Quality Records & Documentation Accurately complete mechanical quality check records for assigned tasks. Ensure all required fields are filled correctly, with clear pass/fail judgment. Handover completed records according to standard workflow requirements.
6. Defect Identification & Escalation Identify and report mechanical issues such as: Misalignment or abnormal movement Surface damage (scratches, dents) Abnormal noise, stiffness, or leaks Escalate issues promptly and support corrective actions before handover.
7. Safety, Housekeeping & Standard Work Follow all workplace safety rules when handling tools, equipment, and components. Maintain good housekeeping throughout assembly activities. Adhere strictly to standard work processes and approved instructions.
