• Assemble upholstered components to plastic, Starboard, wood, and other backing materials
• Use drills, impact drivers, rivet guns, staple guns, hand tools, and other assembly equipment
• Read and follow assembly drawings, work instructions, part numbers, and production schedules
• Verify the correct parts, hardware, and options are installed for each boat model
• Inspect completed assemblies for fit, alignment, appearance, loose hardware, damage, or other quality concerns

• Ability to regularly lift and move marine seating and components
• Ability to bend, reach, kneel, and perform repetitive assembly tasks
• Ability to work safely in a manufacturing environment

At Blue Core, quality matters at every step. As a Final Assembly Operator, you'll be one of the last people to work on our products before they leave our facility.
