Job Description

Your Role

Translate the design team’s concepts into clear, practical work methods that can be applied on the shop floor. You’ll play a direct role in integrating new layouts, resolving assembly issues, and maintaining reliable manufacturing documentation.

This role combines hands-on shop floor work, technical collaboration, and office-based tasks.

- Coordinate changes originating from production or design,



ensuring they are tracked and communicated to the relevant teams.

- Participate directly in testing, adjustments, and troubleshooting on the production floor.

- Report manufacturing challenges and opportunities for improvement to the engineering team, providing clear and concrete information.

- Collaborate with teams to make work methods simpler, more efficient, and more reproducible.

Requirements

The Ideal Candidate

We are open to two types of backgrounds:

Someone with relevant technical training and solid hands-on experience in manufacturing or assembly.

Someone with experience in production, cabinetmaking, or assembly who wishes to transition into a role more focused on methods, documentation, and technical coordination, while remaining closely involved on the shop floor.

What Will Make the Difference

A good understanding of production realities, particularly in cabinetmaking and/or assembly.

Comfort working with blueprints, technical details, and the assembly of mechanisms.

A natural inclination to roll up your sleeves to understand a problem and help solve it.

Attention to detail to keep parts lists and documents up to date.

The ability to listen, explain complex concepts in straightforward terms, and communicate effectively with production and design teams.
