Approximately 80% of this role is spent working alongside the team performing TIG welding and fabrication work, while 20% is dedicated to leading, coaching, developing, and holding employees accountable.
We manufacture high-quality stainless steel food packaging equipment that is shipped to customers throughout the industry. Quality matters. Appearance matters. Craftsmanship matters.
If you take pride in producing beautiful stainless steel TIG welds, enjoy mentoring others, and want the opportunity to help build a culture of excellence, we'd like to speak with you.

What You'll Do
  • Lead a small 2nd Shift manufacturing team consisting of welders and CNC machinists

  • Coach employees and hold them accountable for performance, attendance, quality, and safety expectations
  • Foster a positive and professional team environment
  • Help drive continuous improvement throughout the operation

Why Join CV-Tek?

We manufacture custom food packaging equipment, not repetitive commodity products.
Modern Manufacturing Environment

Small Team, Big Impact
You'll help establish and lead our growing 2nd Shift operation and directly influence its success.

Excellent Benefits

  • Vision Insurance
  • 401(k) with Company Match

  • Paid Holidays

Who Will Be Successful Here?
The ideal candidate is a highly skilled TIG welder who enjoys helping others succeed.
You lead by example. You are approachable and respected. You are willing to coach employees, answer questions, solve problems, and provide direction when needed.
You treat people fairly and with respect, but you are also comfortable addressing performance, attendance, quality, and safety issues when necessary.
Most importantly, you take pride in producing exceptional work and helping your team do the same.
Requirements
