The Assembler II is responsible for supporting welders by preparing materials and assembling cable tray ladders. This involves frequent handling of materials and parts weighing up to 50 pounds, requiring both physical endurance and attention to detail.

Key responsibilities include performing simple repetitive assembly tasks using hand tools, bolts, screws, clips, and other fastening devices.
