Assembler

$15-$17/hour

Full Job Description

Nemco Food Equipment is best known for being an innovator of new equipment solutions that make the otherwise labor-intensive preparation of signature menu items faster and more cost-efficient.  

In addition to its flagship food-prep equipment line, Nemco continues to develop, manufacture and market other countertop solutions in hot-dog cooking equipment, food-merchandising equipment, and food-holding equipment, along with those in its line of ovens, toasters, boiling units, waffle and cone bakers, industrial food-waste disposers and more.

The job of a Class B Assembler requires a range of knowledge and skills across each station of the product line. Skilled assemblers putting together machines read schematics and blueprints that show how to assemble the machine. After determining how parts should connect, they use hand or power tools to trim, shim, cut, and make other adjustments to fit components together. Once the parts are properly aligned, they connect them with bolts and screws, or other means to mate the pieces together.

Quality control is important throughout the assembly process, so assemblers look for faulty components and mistakes in the assembly process. They help fix problems before defective products are made.

In this job, you will work in a production environment, continuously working manually, hand tools, or small power tools. After an initial training period, productivity and quality requirements must be met. Durations of set-ups and run times will vary. Tasks require a fair degree of eye-hand coordination, manual dexterity, and the use of both hands and arms on a repetitive basis for a full range of motion.

The responsibilities of this position include, but are not limited to, the following:

• Read and understand schematics and blueprints
• Position or align components and parts manually or with hand tools
• Use hand tools or machines to assemble parts
• Conduct quality control checks
• Clean and maintain work area, tools, and other equipment

If this job is as one of interest to you, at a minimum, you must have, or the initiative to learn, the following:

Ability to learn each station of the product line, and the different product models.

Ability to read schematics and blueprints and to follow specific written instructions and procedures.
Ability to keep workspace clean and organized.

Ability to lift 60 pounds (solo); team lift up to 100 pounds
