Position Summary

As a hands-on member of our Production team, you will play a critical role in the assembly and installation of major components for world-leading double-deck buses. This is not routine assembly work—our Production Assembly Workers help build complex, high-performance vehicles that serve communities globally and drive the transition to zero-emission mobility.

You will work in a fast-paced, team-based environment where safety, precision, and quality are non-negotiable. Candidates with backgrounds in manufacturing, skilled trades, or mechanical assembly are strongly encouraged to apply, as this role offers the chance to develop specialized skills and grow within your assigned trade or build area.

• Advancement opportunities across the NFI Group family of companies
• Opportunity to learn cutting-edge EV and hybrid bus technologies

What You Will Do

• Interpret and follow blueprints, schematics, and process documentation to assemble and install structural, electrical, and mechanical components.
