You join a smaller, close-knit local operation where approximately 35 colleagues work together in a collaborative, supportive environment. The warehouse is designed to be comfortable, with heaters in the winter and open doors with large fans in the summer to keep air circulating. You benefit from clear processes, stable shift schedules, and the opportunity to build specialized skills in aviation- and marine-grade metals, saw operation, and material handling. The culture emphasizes safety, integrity, and strong work ethic, offering a setting where your contribution is visible and valued, and where you can grow your technical expertise in a hands-on industrial environment.

In colder months, heaters provide warmth, and in warmer months, large doors are opened and industrial fans circulate air throughout the facility. The work involves standing for most of the shift, frequent use of hands and fingers to handle materials and tools, and regular bending, climbing, kneeling, crawling, twisting, balancing, and reaching. You frequently lift up to 50 pounds and occasionally up to 75 pounds, and you push or pull between 25 and 50 pounds throughout the day. The environment includes band saws, metal saws (including Metlsaw or similar equipment), forklifts, cranes, and precision measuring tools such as tape measures, micrometers, nibblers, and calipers. Work is performed on 2nd shift (2:00 p.m.-10:30 p.m.) or 3rd shift (10:00 p.m.-6:30 a.m.), following established safety rules, quality standards, and operational procedures.
