Role

\

As an Assembly Supervisor, you’ll lead a 2nd‑shift team responsible for the assembly of large‑scale composite lay‑up moulds, jigs, and fixtures, some stretching over 120 feet and held to tight tolerances. You’ll coordinate workloads, ensure quality, and provide hands‑on guidance to ensure every tool meets the precision standards demanded by top aerospace manufacturers. You’ll work with thermocouples, electrical and plumbing systems, stainless tubing, and laser tracking / CMM equipment, making sure every project leaves the floor flawless.
