• Strong attention to detail and commitment to producing quality work

• Dependable, safety-conscious, and comfortable working in a hands-on production environment

Why This Opportunity Stands Out:

• Starting pay of $24/hour

• Direct Hire opportunity, allowing you to join the organization as an employee from day one

• Join a highly established organization with more than a century of history and global reach

• Work with precision technology and components supporting aerospace, medical, automotive, and industrial applications

• Extensive training and opportunities to continue developing your technical and manufacturing skills

• Opportunities for long-term career growth and advancement within the organization

• Supportive, team-oriented environment that values quality, craftsmanship, and continuous improvement

• Competitive benefits, including health coverage, retirement plans, paid time off, and additional employee benefits
