Hourly Tesla Assembly Line Jobs in Indiana (NOW HIRING)

Description:

At National Trade Supply, the Assembler is a versatile, cross-trained production team member who plays a direct role in the assembly of the air filtration products we manufacture. This is a single role that spans the full breadth of our manufacturing floor. Every Assembler is expected to develop competency across all functions within the assembly line and rotate between stations as production needs require.

We are seeking reliable, detail-oriented team members who take pride in producing a quality product and understand that every station on the floor matters. Success in this role requires the ability to learn multiple processes, follow standard work instructions precisely, maintain consistent output throughout a full shift, and hold yourself and your work to a high standard — regardless of which station you are assigned to that day.

At National Trade Supply, we operate with a shared set of core values that guide how we work and grow together: Grit, Bias for Action, Critical Thinking, Self-Awareness, and Operational Excellence. These principles shape our culture, influence our decisions, and define what it means to succeed on our team.

Key Responsibilities
Assembly

• Perform hands-on assembly of air or water filtration products at assigned production stations in accordance with standard work instructions and cycle time targets.
• Follow established build sequences and techniques for each product type, ensuring every unit is assembled completely and correctly before moving downstream.
• Maintain a consistent output rate throughout the full shift, keeping pace with line flow and daily production targets.
• Notify the team lead promptly of any tooling issues, material shortages, or build concerns that could affect production.
• Perform changeovers on the assembly line as required, transitioning between product types efficiently and in accordance with standard work instructions.

The Outcome We Are Seeking

Success in this role looks like an assembly line where every station is covered, every unit that leaves the line meets our quality standard, and every associate can be trusted to do the right thing — regardless of which function they are assigned to that day. The Assembler is the core of our production operation, and the consistency they bring to assembly is what makes our products something customers can rely on.

A strong Assembler is cross-trained within their area, dependable, and quality-driven. They follow the process as written, raise concerns before defects multiply, and show up every day ready to contribute no matter what the station. Over time, they build the breadth of knowledge that creates real value on the floor and opens the door to advancement.

Performance will be measured by:

• Output rate and adherence to production cycle time targets across all assigned stations
• Product quality and defect rate at point of assembly
• Safety compliance and PPE adherence
• Attendance, reliability, and punctuality
• Workstation cleanliness and adherence to 5S standards
• Cross-training progress and demonstrated competency across all assembly functions
