These requirements make a certain Myers-Briggs Type Indicator® (MBTI test) personality type a good fit for a career such as a team assembler. This type is the Introverted-Sensing-Feeling-Perceiving (ISFP Myers-Briggs test) personality type.

Team assemblers act almost as engineers and team leaders at the same time, working with a group to manufacture a product or part of a larger invention. Depending on the stage in which the development is in, team assemblers could perform tasks ranging from manufacturing and developing the container in which the product will reside/be purchased in; inspecting the product to make sure that it complies with company and governmental standards and regulations; tidying up work areas so that the mess doesn’t interfere with the product’s assembly; maintaining the equipment used to create the product and reporting any issues as they arise; acting as a middleman between the management and the assembly team to communicate progress levels and any hiccups; and assigning tasks to new team members as they are necessary. Because of the constructive nature of this occupation, a variety of tools are often used, including wrenches, hammers, punches, and compressors. In addition, a wide range of different technological applications are also used in this field. These may include the now-ubiquitous Microsoft Office Suite (including Word, Excel, Outlook, and PowerPoint), as well as Computer Assisted Design (CAD) software and data base user interface and query software. Communication is of the utmost importance in this career, and so the use of smartphones, tablets, and mobile computers is vital to success as a Team Assembler.

The most important skill for this occupation is knowledge of the materials and the procedures necessary for developing the product. Whether this is something that is created by the team or is a long-standing technique that needs to be performed with the utmost focus, knowing the correct way of completing an assembly (as well as the correct materials needed for such an endeavor) is paramount. Coordination skills, higher-level reasoning and precision are also important, as is the ability to communicate effectively and concisely, making sure that everyone is on the same page. Team assemblers may also need to report their progress or prospective strategies to their superiors or other administrative leaders within their company or organization. Work experience is usually more important in this occupation than a degree, but most companies will require at least a high school diploma.
