Permanent recruitment — Assembler
You hire directly, on your own payroll. We find, check and present the candidates.
Sector : Manufacturing and production · NOC 2021 94219
The job
An assembler builds products or sub-assemblies from parts, following drawings, routings or work instructions: furniture, equipment, metal or plastic products, miscellaneous goods. Precision and consistency matter more than raw speed.
Main tasks
- Read work instructions, simple drawings or assembly routings
- Assemble parts by hand or with power or pneumatic tools
- Check conformity and dimensions with the jigs or instruments provided
- Report non-conforming parts
- Pack and label finished products
- Keep the workstation clean and safe
The profile that succeeds
The assembler who succeeds is meticulous and consistent: they follow the sequence, check their work before passing it on and report a non-conforming part instead of forcing it. They use tools safely and keep the station tidy, which reduces errors. They accept being shown a new method and apply it consistently.
Before you give us the mandate
- State the product assembled and tools used
- Say whether blueprint reading or measuring instruments are required
- Describe the shifts and expected pace
Usual requirements
Employers generally want dexterity, the ability to read instructions in French, safe use of tools and attention to detail. Some plants require blueprint reading or the use of measuring instruments (caliper, tape).
