Job Description

Eaton's ES AMER ARS PDCAD division is a specialized segment of Eaton Corporation, a global technology leader in power management solutions. Eaton operates across various industries, providing energy-efficient solutions that help customers manage electrical, hydraulic, and mechanical power more reliably, safely, and sustainably. With decades of experience and a commitment to innovation and operational excellence, Eaton has established a strong reputation worldwide. The ES AMER ARS PDCAD division focuses on manufacturing electrical control equipment and components that serve critical applications in power distribution and control.

This opportunity is for the role of Assembler on the 1st shift, located at the Eaton facility in El Paso, TX. The position offers an hourly wage of $16.22 and operates Monday through Friday from 6:00 am to 2:30 pm. This role is also eligible for participation in Eaton's variable incentive program, providing employees the chance to increase their earnings based on performance and business results. The salary offered will take into account the candidate's skills, experience, and qualifications, alongside prevailing market and business considerations.

The Assembler position is integral to Eaton's manufacturing process, requiring expertise in wiring, assembling, fitting, and mounting subassemblies, components, and fixed assemblies in electrical control equipment. The role demands a high level of attention to detail, as employees must perform assembly tasks that prepare units for testing and final inspection. Utilizing established power-checking procedures and equipment, assemblers verify the electrical and mechanical integrity of the manufactured units. This responsibility is critical for ensuring that all products meet Eaton's stringent quality standards before being dispatched.

Employees in this role work from oral or written instructions, technical drawings, or other manufacturing information, making the ability to interpret and implement these instructions crucial. Quality assurance is a continuous responsibility and includes inspecting finished products to verify that they conform to established specifications and industry codes. Maintaining the workflow's efficiency is equally important, with assemblers expected to monitor job progress actively and communicate any issues such as part shortages or production delays.

Safety and cleanliness form a significant part of the everyday work environment at Eaton. Assemblers are expected to observe all safety protocols, including proper lift techniques given the position may require lifting up to 35 pounds with reasonable accommodation. Additionally, adherence to 5-S housekeeping principles ensures that the work area remains orderly, tools and equipment are properly maintained, and hazards are minimized.

Eaton emphasizes the value of continuous improvement and encourages all employees to dedicate themselves to raising the bar for quality and productivity. This culture of excellence supports Eaton's mission to deliver superior products and services while fostering a positive, safe, and inclusive workplace.

Candidates interested in this position should be residents within a 50-mile radius of the El Paso facility, except for active-duty military applicants who are exempt from this geographical limitation. Eaton does not provide relocation benefits, nor does it sponsor employment immigration visas for this role. Furthermore, Eaton is committed to equal employment opportunities, providing fair consideration to applicants regardless of their background or personal characteristics. The company also supports inclusive hiring practices, including giving qualified applicants with arrest or conviction histories a fair opportunity consistent with applicable laws.

Overall, the Assembler role at Eaton is a rewarding position for individuals who have a background in manufacturing or assembly and are looking to grow their career within a global leader in power management solutions. This role offers the stability of a first-shift schedule, competitive hourly pay, incentive opportunities, and the chance to contribute to high-quality, impactful products in a supportive and forward-thinking environment.
