    Skilled Trades Partners is seeking an experienced Working Shop Foreman / Industrial Mechanic for a full-time opportunity with an established, family-owned industrial service company in Waterbury, CT.

    This is a hands-on leadership position for someone who knows how to troubleshoot, repair, and rebuild industrial rotating equipment while helping oversee the day-to-day operation of a busy repair shop.

    • Diagnose mechanical and electrical failures
    • Perform precision fits, alignments, and equipment repairs
    • Operate manual machining equipment, including a lathe
    • Assist with balancing, testing, and complex troubleshooting
    • Help coordinate shop workflow and maintain high standards for quality and safety

    What We're Looking For

    • 5+ years of industrial mechanical, motor repair, millwright, or similar experience preferred
    • Strong hands-on experience repairing electric motors, pumps, gearboxes, or rotating equipment
    • Manual lathe experience required
    • Strong mechanical troubleshooting skills
    • Experience leading or mentoring other mechanics/technicians
    • Comfortable working with heavy industrial equipment
    • Welding, fabrication, machining, or motor rewinding experience is a plus
    • No electrical license required

    What's Offered

    • Competitive pay around $45–$50/hr DOE
    • Full-time, long-term opportunity
    • PTO and paid holidays
    • 401(k)
    • Profit sharing
    • Bonus opportunities
    • Tuition reimbursement
    • Stable work with an established industrial customer base
    • Opportunity to join a smaller, family-run company where your experience will have a direct impact

    If you're an experienced industrial mechanic who enjoys solving difficult problems, working on a variety of equipment, and leading from the shop floor, we'd like to speak with you.
