Build Something That Lasts.

VanderWall Brothers is looking for an experienced, mechanically minded Machine Operator to join our concrete block manufacturing team in Spring Lake, Michigan.

This is an important position within our manufacturing operation. We are looking for someone who understands production equipment, enjoys troubleshooting and solving problems, and takes pride in keeping a plant running safely and efficiently.

Experience in concrete block, paver, precast, concrete products, brick, aggregate, or a related manufacturing environment is strongly preferred. Experience with Tiger, Columbia, Besser, Hess, MASA, or similar concrete-products manufacturing equipment is a significant plus.

For the right experienced candidate, relocation assistance may be available.

The Opportunity

As a Machine Operator, you won't simply watch equipment run. You'll learn our production process, operate and adjust manufacturing equipment, identify problems, make corrections, and work with the production team to consistently produce high-quality concrete products.

We want someone who brings solid industrial experience and mechanical aptitude. We'll help you learn the specifics of our equipment and operation.

What You'll Do
  • Operate and monitor automated concrete block manufacturing equipment
  • Set up and adjust machinery for different products and production runs
  • Monitor product quality and make equipment adjustments when needed
  • Diagnose mechanical and operational issues to minimize downtime
  • Perform routine equipment inspections, cleaning, and basic maintenance
  • Inspect finished products to ensure they meet quality standards
  • Maintain accurate production information and communicate issues or delays
  • Work closely with plant team members to achieve daily production goals
  • Maintain a safe, clean, and organized work environment
What We're Looking For

Required:

  • Previous machine operator or industrial manufacturing experience
  • Strong mechanical aptitude and troubleshooting ability
  • Experience working with automated production equipment
  • Dependable attendance and a strong work ethic
  • Ability to work effectively as part of a production team
  • Attention to detail and pride in producing quality products
  • Ability to stand for extended periods and perform physical work
  • Ability to lift up to 50 lbs.

Highly Preferred:

  • Concrete block manufacturing experience
  • Concrete paver, precast, concrete products, brick, aggregate, or related industry experience
  • Experience operating or maintaining Tiger, Columbia, Besser, Hess, MASA, or similar concrete-products equipment
  • Experience making machine adjustments and diagnosing production problems
  • Basic computer skills for production reporting
Schedule

Full-time, day shift, Monday through Friday. Overtime may be available or required during busier production seasons.

Benefits

VanderWall Brothers offers a comprehensive benefits package for full-time employees, including:

  • Medical insurance – Two plan options, including a single-coverage plan with 100% of the premium paid by the company
  • Dental and vision insurance
  • Retirement plan with a 100% company match on employee contributions up to 3% of earnings
  • Company-paid short-term disability, long-term disability, and life insurance
  • Paid time off – Starting with up to 10 days annually and increasing with years of service
  • Eight paid holidays
  • Employee Assistance Program
  • Employee Referral Program
  • Additional voluntary insurance options
Why VanderWall Brothers?
