Mechanical Technician

We are seeking a detail-oriented and hands-on Mechanical Disassembly Technician to perform the tear-down and systematic dismantling of train cars and passenger rail vehicles according to project specifications and work instructions.

This role requires mechanical aptitude, precise tool handling, and a strong focus on component preservation.

• Vehicle Tear-Down & Dismantling: Systematically remove interior components, panels, fixtures, equipment, cabling, and internal sub-assemblies on both upper and lower levels of train cars.
• Component Preservation: Safely remove, handle, and preserve customer-facing, high-value, or reusable components to prevent unnecessary damage.
• Fastener & Hardware Removal: Safely extract rivets, panels, and various standard/security fasteners using power drills, socket sets, Torx/security bits, hex keys, and specialized hand tools.
• Cable & Wiring Handling: Disconnect and carefully manage large cable bundles, wiring harnesses, and associated hardware.
• Quality & Damage Reporting: Identify damaged components or unexpected tear-down conditions (such as stubborn sealants/adhesives) and immediately report them to team leads or supervisors.
• Material Disposition: Sort, route, and set aside components for retention, quality assurance inspection, or scrapping according to project guidelines.
• Safety & Workplace Maintenance: Maintain a clean, organized work area and collaborate effectively with fellow technicians working in multi-zone vehicle setups.

Technicians must be comfortable selecting and operating a wide range of mechanical hand and power tools, including:

• Standard mechanic hand tools (wrenches, socket sets, wire cutters)
• Specialized drive bits (Allen/hex, Torx, security Torx, star bits)
• Power drills and drill bits optimized for rivet removal
• Hand tools for precision fastener removal where power tools risk damaging surrounding materials
