Industry & Occupation
Classification
Summary
Manufacturing job that assembles engines, chassis, and body parts used in internal combustion engine vehicles such as diesel railcars.
Description
Internal combustion engine vehicle assemblers are responsible for assembling engine units, drivetrain parts, body structural members, etc., according to assembly drawings and specifications. They use torque wrenches, welding machines, and measuring instruments to join and adjust parts, and conduct operational tests and leak inspections. In addition to line work, when defects in parts are found, they are required to investigate the causes and take corrective actions. Work is divided among teams and conducted while complying with safety and health rules.
Future Outlook
Due to the trend toward decarbonization, replacement with electrified vehicles is progressing, so new demand is decreasing. On the other hand, maintenance and repair of existing internal combustion engine vehicles and opportunities for transfer to industrial machine assembly are expected to maintain steady demand.
