assembly line worker

Production floor laborer

A person employed in manufacturing who performs a specific, repetitive task as products move past on a conveyor system.

Each assembly line worker handles one step—attaching a component, inspecting a part, operating a machine—before the item continues to the next station.

The work is often physically demanding and monotonous: She's been an assembly line worker at the auto plant for fifteen years.
