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.
What You'll Do
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 maximize 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.
What You Bring
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 maneuvering 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
