Senior Assembly Lead

Senior Assembly Lead

We're looking for a hands‑on Senior Assembly Lead who thrives on the floor, not behind a desk. If you're the type who leads by doing — jumping in at any station, pushing flow, and making the line better every day — this role was built for you.

• Lead from the line. Work side‑by‑side with your team across any assembly station to hit daily targets and keep production moving.

• Own the flow. Direct daily operations using Lean Manufacturing and single‑piece flow principles to eliminate waste and maximise uptime.

• Get hands‑on. Expertly assemble components up to 65 lbs using manual and semi‑automated tools — and handle Material Handling Equipment (MHE) to manage inventory and production flow.

• Develop your team. Train and mentor technicians on technical skills, safety protocols, and quality standards.

• Solve problems in real time. Spot bottlenecks, act fast, and implement solutions before small issues become big ones.

• 3–5+ years leading teams in a manufacturing environment
• Solid working knowledge of Lean principles, especially single‑piece flow
• Proficiency with hand tools, power tools, torque wrenches, and semi‑automated assembly equipment
• Ability to read blueprints
• Forklift certification preferred; experience with forklifts, pallet jacks, or similar MHE
• Comfortable lifting and manoeuvring up to 65 lbs throughout a full shift
• Basic computer proficiency (Excel, Word)
• A "roll‑up‑your‑sleeves" mentality — you don't watch, you do

This is an active, physical role. Expect frequent lifting, extended standing, and regular movement between multiple assembly work cells throughout your shift.
