ABOUT ELECTRICAL OR ELECTRONIC EQUIPMENT ASSEMBLER CAREERS

Electrical and electronic assemblers put together today's complicated and progressively smaller electronic goods. An assembler puts together parts of finished items while working on a variety of things such as computers and aeroplanes. The labour is often repetitious and requires the use of pliers, screwdrivers, soldering irons, power drills, and wrenches. 

Because being able to identify colours is vital for assemblers who work with wiring and other coloured materials, they may be required to take a colour blindness test. You should also be mechanically inclined, have good hand-eye coordination, and be able to perform routine work at a consistent, rapid rate. 

Because there are no formal educational requirements for these positions, most electrical and electronic assemblers learn on the job or through some type of vocational school. If you have patience, work well with others in close quarters, and take pride in producing high-quality work, this could be a rewarding employment for you.
