Mechanic I MF

Build, Test, and Bring Legendary Engines Back to Life

Some of the machines you will work on have been running for decades, and the brands behind them go back to 1833. At Cooper Machinery Services, a Mechanic I does hands-on work on moderate to highly complex natural gas compression equipment: taking it apart, putting it back together, testing it, and sending it back to the field.

If you like working with your hands, reading prints, and seeing the result of your work run, you will find plenty of that here. You will work on equipment from Cooper-Bessemer™, Ajax™, and Superior™, which are names that are respected across the industry. Our team is built on safety, quality, and teamwork, and we have room for people who want to learn and grow.
