Team Assemblers
Production
Instead of staying on one station, people on the team learn and rotate through all or most of the steps needed to assemble a product or a major component. Work orders and blueprints are checked so the build matches the spec, and finished parts are inspected for quality. Some team members assign work, set procedures, and train others; the group may also take part in decisions that affect how the work is done. Floors and work areas are shoveled, swept, or otherwise kept clean. Suits people who like switching among tasks, checking quality as they go, and working closely with the same group.
Typical education: High School Diploma or GED
