Feighner Boat Lifts and Docks
Perry, Michigan
Full-Time, Hourly
Compensation: ($16 - $18 per hour)
About Feighner Boat Lifts and Docks:
At Feighner Boat Lifts and Docks, we don’t treat employees like numbers — we treat
them like family. As a family-owned business rooted in craftsmanship, integrity, and
service, we are committed to elevating and engaging our team while building the next
generation of skilled manufacturers.
We design and produce premium boat lifts and docks with one simple principle: treat
every project like it's going in our own backyard. Quality is our top priority. When
things go sideways — and sometimes they do — we choose reputation over profit
every time. We believe that customer service is key, and we expect every team
member to be friendly, clear, and respectful, whether working with coworkers,
customers, or vendors.
If you bring a "can-do" attitude, a willingness to adapt and adjust, and take pride in a
job well done, we want you on our team.
Position Summary:
We are looking for a Manufacturing and Assembly Technician who is hands-on,
mechanically inclined, and quality driven. You will work as part of a team to fabricate,
assemble, and inspect boat lifts and dock systems. Whether you're measuring and
cutting aluminum, assembling parts, or prepping product for delivery, you’ll be part of a
company that builds products to the highest standards — and helps train the next
generation of skilled tradespeople along the way.
