Responsibilities

• Assemble a wide variety of mechanical units and support assemblies at designated workstations using standard work instructions and engineering documentation.
• Perform all functions in each station and feeder area within the assigned department, with the exception of welding.
• Flex to other workstations and assembly lines as needed to support production schedules and workflow.

• Install special accessories on units, understanding their function and correct installation methods.
• Use a wide range of hand, power, and air tools, including electrical drills, grinders, air impact guns, and other assembly tools.

Work Environment
This role is based in a manufacturing facility that operates multiple shifts, including first, second, and third shift assembly. Approximately 95% of the work takes place indoors in large bays, where doors are often open and you may be exposed to seasonal weather conditions, such as colder temperatures in winter and warmer temperatures in summer. The noise level is usually loud, and hearing protection is required. You can expect to work with a wide range of hand, power, and air tools, and to handle mechanical components, which means you will likely be dirty by the end of your shift despite regular housekeeping performed each shift. The environment emphasizes safety and proper use of personal protective equipment. You must provide your own steel-toe or composite-toe boots. The company supplies ear plugs, safety glasses or goggles (or side shields for approved prescription glasses), gloves, arm shields, and tools necessary for the job. The culture is team-oriented and safety-focused, with clear procedures and structured work instructions to support efficient and high-quality production.
