Their duties include preparing materials, loading and unloading parts onto the anodizing line, mixing and handling chemicals safely, and ensuring that the finished products meet quality standards. They also perform routine maintenance on equipment and keep detailed records of production. This role is essential in industries such as aerospace, automotive, and construction, where anodized surfaces are valued for their durability and corrosion resistance.

Job Type
Full-time
Description
Position: Metal Plater / Line Operator (training provided to right candidate- read full description before applying) Company: Nico Products / Minneapolis MN Shift: 5:00am - 3:00pm Monday-Thursday (+OT as needed) Wage: $24.00/Hour + DOQ Signing Bonus: $1500.00 (new hires only)
(Employment/staffing agencies - please do not reach out about this ad. We only hire direct.)
Metal finishing and plating touches everything - medical devices, aerospace, defense, tools, hardware, and critical U.S. manufacturing. Most people don't know this industry exists. That's okay.
Our trade is not taught in schools. We'll train you! Training involves both hands-on training and online coursework, related to plating processes, metals, and chemical properties.
What we can't train? Work ethic. Reliability. Initiative.
If you show up, stay focused, and want to grow - this is a real career path with long-term opportunity!
What to Know Before Applying: (We want you to read this carefully)
Attendance matters: We rely on our team being here when scheduled. Our success depends on employees that show up to work. That means showing up every day, on time, and not leaving early. We reward strong attendance with bonuses!
Strict security protocols: Personal mobile devices must be locked up during shifts (available only on breaks and in designated areas).
Warehouse environment: Exposure to heat, humidity, dust, and noise. This is hands-on, active work. We have a clean warehouse and are compliant with OSHA, Federal, and State regulations.
Career-oriented: You'll have the chance to grow with us if you bring a strong work ethic and initiative. Growth can be becoming an expert in the position, becoming a lead/trainer, changing departments, or going into a supervisor/manager role. It all depends on what interests the employee and the effort put forth by the employee.
We conduct in-person interviews only: This position is located in Minnesota. We do not conduct virtual interviews. If you do not currently reside in MN, you must have definite relocation plans in place before being considered for an interview. There is a place to explain in the screener questions included with this ad.
What You'll Do
  • Perform plating operations per specifications and quality standards
  • Set up, monitor, and control plating lines and chemical baths
  • Process parts for required durations per shop paperwork
  • Inspect parts for thickness, defects, and quality compliance
  • Verify correct racking prior to plating
  • Operate and assist with plating tanks and rinse systems
  • Complete all required paperwork accurately
  • Follow all safety procedures and properly use PPE
  • Identify and report process or equipment issues
  • Maintain a clean and organized work area
  • Work independently while meeting production goals

This is active work-you'll be on your feet, using your hands, and staying focused. If you like staying busy, personal accountability, and seeing tangible results of your efforts, you'll thrive here!
What We're Looking For
  • Reliable attendance and strong work habits (showing up matters here-your team counts on you!)
  • 0-2 years plating or manufacturing experience
  • Ability to follow directions, and work safely
  • Attention to detail
  • Basic math and measuring skills
  • Comfort with tools like rulers/tape measures and digital systems (computers/tablets)
  • Teamwork and cooperative mindset
  • Commitment to safety and quality standards
  • Forklift experience is a plus!
  • Interest in industry certifications (CEF/NASF)
  • Desire to meet production and performance expectations
  • U.S. work authorization
  • MUST be able to speak, read, write, and understand English

What We Offer (Perks & Benefits)
We invest in people who invest in their work.
  • Competitive Pay and Signing Bonus
  • Work-Life Balance: 4-day work week (Mon-Thurs) + overtime on Friday as needed
  • Reviews & Raises: Performance reviews at 60 days, 6 months, then twice a year-raises available if expectations are met

  • Retirement Support: 401k with company contributions

  • Paid Extras: Uniforms, prescription safety glasses, safety boots, referral bonuses, and more

APPLICATION PROCESS:
  • Upload a current resume & answer the questions provided (completing this task provides a little insight into you and helps us determine the best candidates to interview). Thoughtful answers are expected.
  • No need to reach out and verify if the application was received. If you receive an email/text response when you submitted the application, then you'll know it was received. Contacting HR does NOT increase chances of an interview.
  • If you are selected for an interview, you will be contacted via text/email. ( As part of our selection process, while onsite for an interview, you MUST PASS A BASIC MATH TEST within 10 minutes to move on to the interview phase.)
  • Expect a response within 14 days of your application.
