Hand Assembler

Caster Concepts/The Machine Center
Albion, MI Full Time
POSTED ON 8/13/2026
AVAILABLE BEFORE 12/10/2026

If You Like Working With Your Hands and Staying Busy, This Isn’t a Sit-Around Job

At Caster Concepts, we build engineered-to-order industrial casters and wheels—not repetitive, assembly-line products.

Every job is different. The work moves. And at the end of the day, you can see exactly what you built.

If you take pride in doing things right and like staying productive, this is the kind of environment where you’ll succeed.

What You’ll Do

  • Assemble industrial casters and wheels to print with a high level of accuracy
  • Use hand tools and power tools to complete mechanical assembly
  • Read and interpret blueprints and work instructions
  • Keep work moving—complete jobs efficiently and transition to the next
  • Identify and solve problems during assembly (and ask questions when needed)
  • Maintain a clean, organized, and safe workspace
  • Work with your team to improve processes and get better every day

Who This Is For

This role is a great fit if you:

  • Come from a hands-on background (farm, automotive, trades, or manufacturing)
  • Are comfortable using tools and working on your feet
  • Like to stay busy and work at a steady, productive pace
  • Take pride in doing things right—not just getting them done
  • Can read (or are willing to learn to read) blueprints
  • Are a problem solver, not someone who waits to be told every step
  • Understand that meeting customer deadlines matters

What Makes This Role Different

  • Variety: You’re not building the same thing over and over
  • Pace: The day moves—this is not a slow environment
  • Ownership: You see a job through and move on to the next
  • Skill Growth: You’ll develop print reading, assembly techniques, and problem-solving skills
  • Career Path: Strong performers have opportunities to grow beyond assembly into other areas of the business based on performance, skills, and initiative
  • Impact: What you build helps move critical equipment for our customers

Pay: $17.00 - $18.00 per hour
