Assembly operators building subassemblies at a light industrial bench line — Integrity Staffing Group
Integrity Staffing Group places assemblers, production operators, and light industrial crews for manufacturers, suppliers, and contract packagers across Metro Detroit.
A cell built for six people runs slower with five, and the shortfall lands as overtime on the operators who did show up. That is how a headcount gap turns into an attrition problem. We screen for the things that decide whether somebody is still on your line in week three: the shift they can actually work, the commute, and whether they understood the pay and the overtime expectation before they accepted.

What an assembler does on your line

Assemblers build to work instructions at line rate. That covers mechanical and electrical sub-assembly, cable and harness work, torque to spec, in-process visual checks, and packaging and labeling. Many also tend presses, molding machines, and conveyor lines between builds.
Typical responsibilities we hire for
  • ›Mechanical and electrical sub-assembly
  • ›Building to work instructions and prints
  • ›Torque tool operation and in-process checks
  • ›Visual inspection, packaging, and labeling
  • ›Machine tending and production line support

Manufacturing & Skilled Trades Staffing — FAQ

Usually a vetted shortlist within days, and we can stage a group start when you are standing up a shift or covering a ramp. Our local light industrial bench stays active between orders.

How fast can you fill light industrial and assembly openings?
Usually a vetted shortlist within days, and we can stage a group start when you are standing up a shift or covering a ramp. Our local light industrial bench stays active between orders.
Can you staff a full shift or a launch ramp at once?
Yes. We scope headcount, start dates, and the screening bar at intake so a crew arrives together instead of trickling in over three weeks.
How do you keep temp assemblers from washing out in the first two weeks?
We are blunt about shift, pay, overtime, and the standing and lifting the job involves, so nobody accepts work they will quit. Then we follow up during week one, while a transportation or childcare problem is still fixable.
Do candidates understand 5S, GMP, and ISO 9001 expectations?
We screen for it where the environment demands it. That means work-instruction discipline, torque tool habits, labeling accuracy, and whether they have worked inside a documented quality system rather than an informal shop.
