• Basic familiarity with pneumatic tools is beneficial, especially in remanufacturing operations.
• Interest in learning new production processes and cross-training in areas such as paint, crimping, quality control, or machine operation.
• Ability to participate in a one-day working interview, typically between 8:00 AM and 3:30 PM.

Why Work Here?

Employees benefit from a long-term opportunity with clear potential for pay growth as experience increases and skills develop. The organization offers a strong pathway for advancement into leadership roles and specialized departments such as paint, crimping, quality control, or machine operations. Team members work with modern manufacturing processes and precision-engineered products, gaining valuable hands-on experience in a stable and growing industrial environment. The company supports growth-minded individuals who bring a strong work ethic, reliability, and a desire to build a lasting career in manufacturing.

Work Environment

The role is based in non–climate-controlled warehouse facilities, primarily in two buildings dedicated to manufacturing and remanufacturing. In Building B, a newer manufacturing warehouse, employees work at standing workstations assembling products using hand and power tools, applying stickers, and loading finished items into boxes. In Building C, a remanufacturing warehouse, employees disassemble used products and rebuild them using hand, power, and pneumatic tools, with opportunities to grow into the paint department, crimper department, quality control, or machine operator roles. The work is hands-on, repetitive, and requires standing for 10 or more hours per shift in a fast-paced production environment. Available shifts include a first shift, Monday through Thursday from 5:00 AM to 3:30 PM with optional additional hours on Friday, and a second shift, Monday through Thursday from 3:00 PM to 1:00 AM with optional additional hours on Friday from 1:00 PM to 5:00 PM. The dress environment is typical for a manufacturing setting, where employees should be prepared for active, tool-based work in a warehouse atmosphere.
