Capital Equipment Assembler — Foundry & Surface Treatment Systems

Location: Grand Ledge, MI

At Roberts Sinto Corporation, part of the Sinto America Group (the North American subsidiary of Sintokogio, Ltd.), you’ll bring complex industrial machinery from blueprint to reality. Our teams support customers across North America with advanced solutions spanning Foundry Mold and Core Making, Sand Processing, Bulk Material Handling, Automation, 3D Ceramic Printing, Surface Treatment, and Surface Technologies.

A day in this role

Your morning begins on the shop floor, positioning large machine bases and staging sub-assemblies for final assembly. You’ll coordinate base placement with other departments to meet floor space needs and schedules, set bases per blueprint drawings, and operate cranes and related material handling devices to move and place components safely.

Midday, you’ll dive into final assembly: using hand tools to bring together sub-assemblies and build out complete machines per engineering drawings. You’ll collaborate closely with engineers to resolve any build challenges that surface.

Throughout the day, you’ll troubleshoot newly assembled equipment at key milestones, spot unforeseen issues early, and uphold stringent safety practices for yourself and the team.

When hydraulic systems are involved, you’ll assist with installation—bending piping and tubing, making hoses, identifying fittings, and completing threading on black piping.

As projects near completion, you’ll support Engineering and Sales during customer run‑offs with your assembly expertise, then disassemble equipment and load it onto trucks for shipment.
