About The Position

VIP Staffing is hiring Production Assemblers at Levels I, II, III, and IV to join a growing manufacturing team in San Antonio, Texas, near UTSA. The roles suit candidates with varying levels of experience in mechanical assembly, electronic assembly, manufacturing, and production operations. Assemblers build mechanical and electronic components, use hand and power tools, follow detailed work instructions, and maintain safety, quality, and productivity standards.

Starting pay is $16.00 per hour for Assembler I; pay for higher-level positions depends on the assigned role, qualifications, and experience.

Assembler I is an entry-level role involving basic assembly tasks, training on tools and production equipment, and development of foundational skills.
