About the position
Chipton-Ross is seeking 20 Assembler B's for a contract opportunity in North Charleston, SC. This position is 100% onsite and involves performing routine production assembly operations on structural and mechanical assemblies, subassemblies, and aircraft systems, equipment, and accessories using manual operations. The assembler will be responsible for selecting the correct parts, materials, tools, assemblies, standards, and hardware, and will install, fit, fasten, align, adjust, and perform the necessary pre-installation assembly work to accomplish the installation of structural components. This requires the use of production and engineering prints to determine exact locations. The assembler must report job constraints such as errors caused by workmanship, defects in parts, materials, assembly procedures, tools, sequences, etc., in accordance with Client procedures. Additionally, the assembler will perform any repairs, rework, functional checks, and incorporate authorized changes as outlined by the Lead. The role requires the ability to drill close tolerance holes in composites, tool indexing, and gap measurement. A strong understanding of blueprints, drawings, schematics, engineering dispositions, and instructions is essential. Safety is a priority, and the assembler must employ the use of safety glasses, safety harnesses, respirators, boot socks, and other pertinent safety equipment 100% of the time.
