Minnesota Jobs, Minneapolis, MN, United States
Assembler
This role focuses on performing hands-on mechanical assembly of professional lawn care equipment, including aerators and blowers used in golf course and turf applications. You will build products from start to finish using hand and power tools, working from blueprints and schematics, and collaborating with teammates to complete both sub-assemblies and full assemblies.
Responsibilities
Perform mechanical assembly of lawn care equipment such as aerators and blowers from start to finish.
Use hand and power tools, including power drills, torque wrenches, pneumatic tools, and basic hand tools, to assemble components and finished units.
Read and interpret blueprints and schematics to ensure accurate assembly of parts and systems.
Complete sub-assemblies independently or full assemblies in two-person teams, depending on production needs.
Assemble products in a non-assembly-line environment, taking ownership of the full build process for each unit.
Meet production expectations, which may range from approximately 15 units per day to one unit every 23 days, depending on the specific product and assembly department.
Follow established work instructions, safety guidelines, and quality standards throughout the assembly process.
Collaborate with trainers and team members during training and ongoing work to ensure consistent build quality.
Maintain a clean and organized work area and properly handle tools and equipment.
Demonstrate reliable attendance and remain focused on work tasks during working hours.
Essential Skills
At least 6 months of experience using hand and power tools in a manufacturing, mechanical, or similar environment.
Minimum 1 year of hands-on mechanical assembly experience.
Ability to read and interpret blueprints or assembly instructions, comparable to assembling items such as bicycles or furniture from packaged instructions.
Strong mechanical aptitude and comfort working with tools and mechanical components.
Consistent and reliable attendance, with no more than one day missed per month.
Positive attitude, strong work ethic, and willingness to learn.
Ability to work both independently and as part of a small team to complete assemblies.
Capability to follow safety procedures and quality standards in a production environment.
Additional Skills & Qualifications
Experience working on personal vehicles or performing automotive maintenance as a hobby or in a lube/auto technician role is preferred.
Prior manufacturing or production experience in a shop environment is beneficial.
Familiarity with torque wrenches, pneumatic tools, and reading mechanical schematics is an advantage.
Comfort working in a setting with varying production urgency, from steady-paced to fast-paced periods.
Why Work Here?
Employees enjoy strong benefits and paid time off, along with access to a dedicated health app that provides video and chat access to a therapist-like primary care resource at no cost for eligible users. The organization invests in employee well-being by covering this health app fully, and also supports access to medical prescriptions, with some items handled through personal health insurance. The culture is professional yet laid-back, with a supportive supervisor and on-the-floor leadership presence that encourages focus and productivity. Team members benefit from a stable schedule, opportunities to work with their hands on tangible products, and a collaborative environment where training and guidance are readily available.
Work Environment
The position is based in a fairly laid-back, medium-sized, climate-controlled shop that is not noisy or overly loud. The facility is full of product but organized so that people have enough room to work comfortably. You may work alone on sub-assemblies or with one or two others on full assemblies, and you will have a trainer working with you during the training period. The typical schedule is first shift, Monday through Thursday from 6:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Work on Fridays is generally optional and, when needed, usually limited to a partial day until around 10:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. The environment can vary between low-key periods and times when quick turnaround is required and the team needs to increase output. Leadership on the floor expects employees to stay focused on their tasks and avoid personal cell phone use while working, supporting a productive and professional atmosphere. No specific dress code details are provided beyond standard expectations for a manufacturing shop setting.
