Job description

Job Overview

There are a variety of tasks this position completes, including operation of basic hand-tools such as hammer, impact, drill, screwdriver, pliers, wrenches, picks, scrappers, pullers, drivers, and punches. As well as two types of presses, arbor and hydraulic. In addition to these tools the Disassembly Associate will also use an overhead hoist to load the core unit onto their bench. The Disassembly Associate will also be responsible for the operation of a Pass-through Washer, Pressure Washer, and Soda Blaster. The Disassembly Associate will verify that the core matches the BOM (Bill of Materials) called out on the tag that came with the core unit. The Associate will then move the unit to their disassembly bench and proceed to remove all external parts like the encoder motor, any cables, seals, etc. They will then remove all the bolts that connect the two case halves together. This will require the use of a pneumatic impact and possibly a pry bar. Once the two case halves are apart the Associate will start to disassemble the internal parts in the order dictated by their Work Instructions for the unit they are working on. Different units require different steps to be taken to disassemble. This will require multiple tools listed above. NOTE: it is important to point out that the Disassembly Associate should take care not to damage parts during this process as it will cause additional processing and possibly higher parts cost further in the process. Once all the internal parts have been removed from the case halves they are sorted into a wash basket. The Disassembly Associate will then load this basket of parts and the case halves into the pass-through washer. While those parts are being washed the Disassembly Associate will pressure wash and then soda blast the previously washed parts from the previous unit. Once the parts are cleaned to the established standard the Disassembly Associate will return to their bench and start the process again on the next available core unit.
