Most manufacturing competitors in the Richmond, VA area post standard assembler roles in the $16 to $18 per hour range without the carpentry angle, so leading with saw work, tape measure accuracy, and carpentry experience should pull a stronger, more skilled candidate pool than a typical "assembler" search would surface. The three month contract duration and without interview process are both draws for candidates who want to start fast, though the shorter duration may be a headwind for anyone looking for long term stability. Previous manufacturing experience is preferred but not required, which keeps the funnel wide.Boolean Search String(carpenter OR carpentry OR woodworker OR woodworking) AND (saw OR "table saw" OR "miter saw" OR tablesaw OR mitersaw) AND (assemble OR assembling OR assembler OR assembly) AND (measure OR measuring OR "tape measure") AND (drill OR driver OR "power tools" OR "hand tools") AND (nail OR nailgun OR "nail gun" OR staple OR staplegun OR "staple gun") AND (manufacturing OR production OR fabrication)
