Industry & Occupation
Classification
Summary
A manufacturing worker who assembles parts of metal containers, performs welding, and finishing.
Description
Container assemblers (metal) are workers who assemble frames and panels of metal containers using materials such as steel plates and shaped steel. The work is carried out based on drawings and work instructions, involving tasks such as positioning materials, temporary assembly, clamping and fixing, main assembly using welding machines and rivet tools, bolt tightening, and filling with sealing materials. In welding operations, arc welders or semi-automatic welders are operated, and quality control measures such as dimensional measurements, visual inspections, and leak tests are conducted.
The work is often performed in line operations or cell production systems, requiring the handling of materials using cranes or forklifts, maintenance inspections of equipment, and adherence to safety and health rules. High attention to detail and accuracy are necessary, and important qualities include teamwork, understanding of efficient work procedures, and quick response to troubles.
