WAREHOUSE & ASSEMBLY TECHNICIAN - ENTRY LEVEL
Royersford, PA | Mon-Fri, Day Shift
Your Launch into Technical Careers
Are you a recent graduate or trade school student looking to start your technical career? Do you want hands-on experience working with real industrial equipment in a structured, organized environment? Proconex is hiring entry-level Warehouse & Assembly Technicians to join our fast-growing team in Royersford, PA.
This is a launching pad. We'll train you, mentor you, and give you the skills to advance into field service roles, lead technician, supervisor, or management positions within a reasonable amount of time.
What You'll Do
You'll be the backbone of our warehouse and assembly operations, supporting the Proconex sales organization and our customers. Your responsibilities include:
- Assembly – Assemble control valves, regulators, and automated valve systems with precision and attention to detail
- Quality Control – Perform safety checks and inspections on products after completing required training
- Warehouse Operations – Load and unload trucks, organize inventory, ship and receive materials, and manage material flow
- Technical Support – Assist with packaging, skid building, crate loading, and inventory management
- Facilities Support – Help maintain a clean, organized, safe work environment and support company operations
- Safety First – Follow all company and customer safety policies, maintain proper procedures, and prioritize a secure workplace
Be honest with yourself: This job is hands-on, detail-oriented, and physical. You'll be moving materials weighing up to 50 lbs, working in a warehouse environment, and following precise procedures. If you want routine desk work, this isn't it. If you're ready to build real technical skills and learn the foundation of industrial operations, let's go.
What We'll Teach You (3-4 Month Training)
You don't need prior experience. We provide formal training in:
- Valve assembly and product specifications
- Safety inspections and quality control procedures
- Warehouse operations and inventory management
- Shipping, receiving, and material handling
- Forklift operation
- Customer safety requirements and compliance
As you advance, you'll have access to Emerson factory training programs—industry-recognized certifications that open doors to field service, supervisory, or technical roles.
Advancement Paths
This role offers two clear career directions:
- Field Service Track – Move into our Field Service Technician role, working directly with customers in the field (higher responsibility, better pay)
- Warehouse Leadership Track – Advance to Lead Technician or Supervisor roles
Your performance and interests determine which path you pursue. Both offer growth, mentorship, and industry training.
What We're Looking For
- High school diploma or equivalent (or currently enrolled in/graduated from a trade or technical program)
- Mechanical aptitude and willingness to learn
- Strong attention to detail and ability to follow procedures
- Physical ability to lift up to 50 lbs and work in a warehouse environment
- Teamwork and communication skills
- Valid driver's license and clean driving record (preferred)
- Drug screening required
Preferred but not required:
- Forklift certification (we can train you)
- Trade school or technical background
- Any warehouse, inventory, or technical experience
- Shipping/receiving experience
Why Proconex?
- Mentorship-driven culture – You'll work alongside experienced technicians and leaders who invest in your growth
- Dual advancement paths – Choose field service or warehouse leadership; clear progression in a reasonable time
- Structured training – formal onboarding + Emerson factory training as you advance
- Supportive team – Collaborative environment where you're valued and your input matters
- Industry recognition – Part of Emerson Impact Partner Network; training opens doors in your career
