Career Snapshot

ABOUT ELECTROMECHANICAL EQUIPMENT ASSEMBLER CAREERS

Electrical and electronic assemblers put together today's complicated and increasingly compact electronic gadgets. An assembler assembles parts of final items on a variety of products such as computers and aeroplanes. The labour is frequently repetitious and requires the use of pliers, screwdrivers, soldering irons, power drills, and wrenches. 

Because the ability to discriminate colours is vital for assemblers who work with wiring and other coloured materials, they may be required to complete a colour blindness test. You should also be mechanically inclined, have good hand-eye coordination, and be able to perform routine tasks at a steady, fast speed. 

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