Job description

NW Service Enterprises, Inc. (NWS) Professional Assembly is seeking candidates for the Assembly Technician position, working on-site at local Retail Stores such as Home Depot, Walmart, or Lowe's, assembling merchandise and displays. You will assemble various products, including Barbecues, Bicycles, Wheelbarrows, Lawn Tractors, Work Benches, and Furniture.

Available work is seasonal and can fluctuate depending on the time of year, spiking in Spring through Summer and again during the Holidays. We offer flexible scheduling, which is excellent for those seeking part-time as well as those wanting as much work as is available.

If you have always been the hardest-working person on an hourly job, then this is the job for you!  At NWS, you're rewarded for your performance. Once training is complete, pay transitions to piece rate, where our new technicians typically average around $17 to $25 per hour. Experienced techs can average upwards of $30/hour depending on productivity. You will never earn less than the local minimum wage.   Once you learn the products and develop good habits and techniques, you will gain speed, and your paycheck will grow accordingly.

If you are the handy person your friends and family would ask to help assemble a bike, barbecue, or playset, and you enjoy physical work and staying active, we want you to come and build for us!

Those who Thrive in This Role

People who succeed in this position enjoy hands-on mechanical work, stay physically active all day, and are comfortable working independently. We pay per-piece assembled, so productivity contributes to higher earnings.

Considerations when applying

If prolonged standing, sustained physical activity, repetitive hand and arm motions, or maintaining a steady pace are strenuous for you, this role is unlikely to be a good fit.

Responsibilities include:

  • Assembly and repair products and merchandise, using manufacturer instructions while adhering to retailer rules and guidelines.
  • Provide excellent customer service, building and maintaining positive relationships with clients.
  • Check in with Retailer management to confirm the build list and inventory.
  • Generate and complete invoices daily.
  • Report and communicate effectively with your Area Manager.
  • Maintain a safe, clean workspace and leave clients with a clean build area.
  • Other responsibilities are outlined in the employee handbook.
