Division: General Assembly and Machine Operator

General assembly and machine operators ("GMO") are expected to operate high speed machine tools for fabricating, assembling and/or manufacturing automotive or automotive related parts. These jobs include some degree of monitoring the manufacturing/assembly process and recording the results.

Specific tasks of GMOs include, but are not limited to the following: work with computer-controlled equipment or more mechanically based machines to produce required parts; check their designated machines and equipment for problems; perform maintenance tasks to ensure no errors occur with respect to materials produced; perform quality checks to ensure parts pass quality checks; check and prepare raw materials that a machine needs to work and load these materials appropriately; ability to read and decipher blueprints; understand and execute safe machine operation and practices.

Essential physical and cognitive skills necessary for GMOs include, but are not limited to the following: basic math, reading and analytical skills to understand how blueprints, models and schematics work; basic problem solving skills to understand why machines are not at peak performance, how to increase output and how to fix errors; attention to detail to understand working with precision equipment and avoid sub-quality parts; physical stamina to conduct repetitive and labor intensive manufacturing and general assembly tasks, such as: standing/walking on industrial surfaces for up to 12 hours a day and up to 7 days a week, loading and unloading machine parts between 20-35 pounds for up to 12 hours a day and up to 7 days a week; be able to look up and down, lift, bend, stoop, twist, turn, climb, crouch/kneel, reach above shoulder level, push, pull using various body parts including: back, neck, legs and arms related to assembly, loading and machine operation and maintenance. Be able to repeatedly pick up and/or sort small, medium and large sized parts (dexterity) ability to work in a fast past environment exposed to machining and standard manufacturing chemicals and odors for up to 12 hours a day and up to 7 days a week; and ability to tolerate varying degrees of temperature, dim and bright lighting and loud noises for up to 12 hours a day and up to 7 days a week.
