Some vehicles tell a story. A classic muscle car that's been sitting in a garage for decades. A vintage truck that has been passed down through generations. A dream project that someone has spent years imagining. At Cleveland Designs, those stories become our next build.
As a Mechanical Technician you're not performing the same repairs day after day. One project might involve bringing a classic vehicle back to life with a modern drivetrain. The next could be a complete custom build featuring a handcrafted exhaust system, upgraded suspension, custom wiring, and performance modifications. Every finished build leaves the shop as something truly unique.
You'll play a hands-on role in transforming ideas into reality. From fabrication and welding to electrical upgrades and performance enhancements, your craftsmanship will be visible in every detail of the finished product. You'll work on vehicles that turn heads, spark conversations, and showcase the passion that went into building them.
We're looking for people who take pride in their work, enjoy solving problems, and appreciate the satisfaction of seeing a project evolve from concept to completion. Whether your strengths are in fabrication, electrical systems, drivetrain upgrades, or complete vehicle assembly, you'll have the opportunity to work on a wide variety of exciting builds while continuing to develop your skills.
At Cleveland Designs, every project is an opportunity to build something special. Every vehicle that enters our shop has a story, and every build leaves with a new one. If you're passionate about craftsmanship, performance, and being part of that journey, we'd love to hear from you.
