Assembler, Manufacturing ​/ Production

Assembler

The Assembler performs complex mechanical assembly of components and subassemblies in a modern, air-conditioned manufacturing facility. This role combines hands-on assembly work with coaching and mentoring of junior assemblers, while ensuring adherence to safety, quality, and lean manufacturing standards. The position operates on a first-shift schedule and plays a key role in improving processes, supporting cross-functional collaboration, and delivering high-quality products in a fast-growing, technology-driven environment.

Responsibilities

• Execute complex assembly tasks, including advanced mechanical assembly of components and subassemblies according to engineering drawings, schematics, and build instructions.
• Work on and along an assembly line, performing production and general assembly activities to meet daily and weekly output targets.
• Use hand tools and power tools safely and effectively to assemble, fasten, and adjust components and subassemblies.
• Follow standard operating procedures (SOPs), prints, and schematics to ensure assemblies meet specifications and quality standards.
• Perform final quality inspections and functional testing to verify that assembled products meet all company standards and customer requirements.
• Coach and train lower-level assemblers, providing guidance on assembly techniques, safe work practices, and quality expectations.
• Mentor junior team members to support their skill development and contribute to a strong, collaborative team culture.
• Ensure that all assembly activities comply with safety rules, regulatory requirements, and company policies.
• Continuously monitor work areas for potential safety hazards and take appropriate action to maintain a safe working environment.
• Review existing assembly processes regularly and recommend improvements to increase efficiency, reduce waste, and support lean manufacturing initiatives.
• Follow lean manufacturing guidelines and actively contribute continuous improvement suggestions for process optimization.
• Collaborate with engineers, designers, and other departments to resolve design or manufacturing issues that arise during assembly.
• Communicate clearly with cross-functional teams to provide feedback on manufacturability, quality concerns, and process enhancements.
• Maintain accurate inventory of parts and materials required for assembly, ensuring stock levels remain at optimal levels for uninterrupted production.
• Report shortages or material issues promptly and coordinate with relevant teams to prevent delays in production.
• Work under time constraints to meet production deadlines while maintaining high quality standards.
• Troubleshoot and resolve assembly problems, including fit, alignment, or functional issues, using advanced problem-solving skills.
• Document work as required, including completion of production records, quality checklists, and any process-related documentation.
• Adhere to all workplace, physical, and ergonomic requirements, including safe lifting, manual handling, and proper use of tools and equipment.
• Be available for occasional mandatory overtime, including some Fridays, when needed to meet production deadlines.
