Job Description

We're Hiring Assistant Small Arms Ammunition Manufacturers (ASAAM) - Machine Operator

What Does an Assistant Small Arms Ammunition Manufacturer (ASAAM) Do?

The most important job for an ASAAM is to learn, understand and practice the correct techniques needed to make quality ammunition We don't expect our applicants to already know how to manufacture ammunition. We don't expect them to be familiar with our commercial machinery. We have an extensive and detailed on-the-job training process that lasts from several months and we will teach you what you need to know to be successful..

A fully trained Assistant ASAAM will be able to assist or takeover at any step in the manufacturing process. On a given day you could be receiving products, manufacturing coated projectiles, re-manufacturing brass, priming re-manufactured or new brass, loading primed brass, but no matter what your daily function you will continuously perform quality control checks. You will be operating and maintaining commercial production machinery. This includes keeping machines stocked, assessing/troubleshooting and correcting issues. Performing in-process quality control is something we take very seriously. We take great pride in our products, and manufacture the best small arms ammunition in the business and we have been successfully meeting this challenge for years. Great products come from serious employees. Are you ready to step into a role in this endeavor?

If you have experience as a Production Technician, Manufacturing Specialist, Precision Machine Operator, Ammunition Assembly Technician - this opportunity might be perfect for you.

Ammunition manufacturing worldwide is largely dedicated to the production of "new" ammunition by companies such as Speer, Sig-Sauer, Hornaday, etc. These companies use new components with dedicated machines and computer automation.

Also found within this industry are "Re-manufacturing" ammunition companies. This process involves recycling the expensive component of ammunition, the cartridge case. There are only about 300 companies nationwide that participate in this aspect of the business. To grow such a business then requires that we train and equip our employees for success.

What We're Looking For:

Intelligence & Willingness to Learn

Few people enter this line of work with the required knowledge or skill sets needed. To learn what is needed, you must be open and willing to accept new skills through training.

Complete Fluency in English (Reading/Writing)

All communication and training materials are in English. Given the exacting demands of the manufacturing process nothing can be allowed to be "lost in translation."

Extreme Attention to Detail

We manufacture Small Arms Ammunition, which by nature incurs elements of risk and liability. Continuous and methodical attention MUST be paid to every aspect of the manufacturing process to insure a safe reliable product. This is serious business and will require your complete focus and commitment.

Excellent Attendance

We depend on you to carry your share of the work load. An unexpected absence will hurt the entire production team. If attendance is an issue for you, this may not be the career you are looking for.

Mechanical Experience

Ammunition manufacturing requires tolerances to .0001"and forces measuring up to 50 tons, Prior experience working with mechanized equipment in precision application will allow you to join our team and maintain a safe work environment that produces quality products.

Ability to Lift 60 lbs

Ammunition, and its components are heavy by nature. Moving boxes of ammo or components is a routine part of the daily work experience. If you struggle to lift 60 lbs of dead weight on a regular basis you will not fit in here.

About our Companies:

Ammunition Depot -

Our mission: Provide our customers with access to high quality products at a competitive price with the best customer service they have ever experienced

Ammunition Depot was founded by freedom-loving Americans who knew two things: (1) it is every American's right and responsibility to defend themselves, their family, and their country; and (2) without ammunition, none of that is possible.

With seven children between them, the owners of Ammunition Depot fully understand the responsibility of keeping their families safe. They also understand that simply dialing 911 will not stop an aggressor from doing harm. Our respect and appreciation for law enforcement is absolute, but the fact is, a jacketed lead projectile has a much faster response time than the 10-minute national average response time to a 911 call.

Therefore, it is our goal and our promise to provide the American public access to high-quality ammunition at the lowest possible price with the best customer service they have ever experienced. Not the best service in the industry, the best period.

As Ammunition Depot has grown over the years, we have been able to create numerous jobs for hard-working Americans in our home state of Florida, as well as help many charities and foundations that support our troops, law enforcement, and the shooting sports. Our plan is to keep growing, keep creating jobs, keep giving, and keep Ammunition Depot strong so that we can deliver the same great products and same great service for decades to come.

Gold Coast Armory -

Our Mission: Serve the underserved segments of the wholesale ammunition users market
Gold Coast Armory (GCA) was founded in response to ammunition shortages among law enforcement agencies that began in 2012 and have persisted since then. As it has grown GCA has identified many market segments that are underserved by the traditional distributors of ammunition and shooting accessories. We provide value though inventory, service, and sourcing. Unlike many competitors we have no minimums, no credit card fees, and no back orders. With our large in stock inventory we are able to ship most wholesale orders same day. It doesn't matter if its a single box or a multi-pallet order. Our team is able to anticipate the needs of our customers and make the buying process effortless for them.

US Cartridge -

Our Mission: Manufacture and distribute high quality, innovative ammunition products at a competitive price by introducing modern materials, machinery, and processes to the ammunition manufacturing space

Currently, our flagship product is a poly coat 9mm projectile that exerts less stress on the firearms and requires less powder to achieve the same velocities as metal jacketed projectiles. Additionally, we are building a line to produce the best in market remanufactured .223.

Rattlesnake Tactical -

Our Mission: Design and import high quality, innovative accessories for our core customers
Rattlesnake tactical aims to provide value for customers by identifying, designing, and sourcing innovative products for our core customer base.
