JOB PURPOSE

:

Whether it is concepting new ideas or improving an existing product to enhance productivity – Ceres is ready to help bring ideas to life. We provide concept generation, detailed design, prototyping, testing, refinement, as well as manufacturing specialized machinery and purpose-built attachments. Our team of Mechanical, Industrial and Electrical Engineers has over 100 years of combined experience, and they, along with our technicians, welders and fabricators, complete our team of experts in analyzing concept generation, designing, and specifying components for complex systems and then bring them to life through our manufacturing capabilities.

Ceres is looking for a Hydraulic Hose Assembler to build custom hoses to specification. You’ll work directly with customers to determine their hose replacement needs, so strong communication and problem-solving skills are essential. You’ll spend most of your time using various tools and resources that we provide (e.g. hydraulic press, blueprint system, etc.) building custom hoses for heavy equipment machinery. When you’re not building hoses, you’ll be conducting various warehouse duties.

We’re looking for someone with a strong mechanical aptitude, experience using tools and who enjoys problem solving & creating things. We will provide the training necessary for you to be successful at this position, so don’t worry if you don’t have hose building experience.
