Grand Rapids, MI

  • Delivery Driver & Shop Assembly

    Grand Rapids, MI

    At Youngblood Automation, a division of H&P Technologies, we’re more than a distributor—we’re problem solvers helping customers power, move, and automate the world around them. From fluid power and motion control to cutting-edge automation solutions, our work supports manufacturers across a wide range of industries.

     

    We are seeking a versatile, hands-on professional to join our team in a dual-capacity role as a Delivery Driver & Assembler. This position is ideal for someone who enjoys a "best of both worlds" schedule: split between the road as a delivery driver and the shop as an assembly specialist. When you aren’t navigating local/regional routes, you will be an integral part of our build team, using tools to measure, cut, and assemble frames and projects. 

    Responsibilities

    • Operate non-CDL company vehicles (such as box trucks or cargo vans) to transport goods to customer sites safely and on time.
    • Securely load products for transport and physically unload materials at delivery sites, often using hand trucks or pallet jacks.
    • Utilize GPS and navigation tools to determine the most efficient delivery routes while maintaining professional communication with dispatch.
    • Perform daily pre-trip and post-trip vehicle inspections. Maintain accurate delivery logs and obtain customer signatures upon arrival.
    • Use hand and power tools to build and put together components according to specific instructions or blueprints. A few of the products could be:
      • Aluminum extrusion
      • Wire mesh
      • Polycarbonate panels
    • Accurately measure and cut materials (wood, metal, or plastics) to meet project specifications.
    • Inspect finished builds for defects and ensure all products meet our high-quality standards before they are staged for delivery.
    • Help maintain an organized, clean, and safe shop environment.

    Skills & Experience

    You don’t need to know everything on day one—we’re happy to train. A great fit brings:

    • Valid state driver’s license with a clean driving record (CDL not required).
    • Ability to pass a DOT physical and obtain a Medical Examiner’s Certificate (MEC), as required for commercial motor vehicle operation.
    • Capability to lift at least 50 lbs frequently; must be able to climb, kneel, and stand for extended periods.
    • Proficiency with basic shop tools (saws, drills, tape measures) and a comfort level with manual assembly work.
    • Strong communication skills and a customer-first attitude for face-to-face interactions during deliveries.
    • Forklift experience—or willingness to learn
    • High school diploma or GED required

    Critical Competencies

    • Teamwork: Building cooperation among individuals and departments, sharing information and resources, and working to achieve group goals and outcomes.
    • Communication: Listening effectively, transmitting information accurately and understandably, and actively seeking feedback.
    • Customer Focus: Understanding and meeting the needs of customers and addressing the interests and concerns of all organization stakeholders.
    • Professionalism: Dealing directly and forthrightly with people and problems, persisting to get the job done.

    Join the Youngblood Automation Team

    At Youngblood Automation, you’ll find a family-like, respectful environment where people help each other succeed. Your work is noticed, your ideas are welcome, and your growth matters. We believe in training, teamwork, and promoting from within whenever possible.
