Job description

???? American Games (504 34th Avenue Council Bluffs, IA)
???? Sunday-Thursday (10:00 PM - 6:00 AM)

We're looking for dependable, energetic team members who are ready to build a career in manufacturing. At American Games, you'll help produce charitable gaming products-including pull-tab tickets, bingo paper and bingo dabbers-that help organizations raise millions of dollars for communities across North America.

Whether you're looking to start your manufacturing career or bring your production experience to a growing company, we'll provide the training, support and opportunities to help you succeed.

A successful candidate will be trained and expected to operate across multiple production areas, performing a wide range of manual and machine-assisted tasks. These tasks include the assembly, collation, cutting, labeling, quality checking, packaging and palletizing of printed game materials. Team members will work closely with operators and supervisors to ensure each product meets strict quality standards and customer specifications. A high degree of attention to detail, the ability to work efficiently under deadlines and a commitment to safety and consistency are all key to success in this role.

What You'll Do

As a General Production Associate, you'll work throughout our finishing department supporting the production, assembly, packaging, quality inspection and shipment of our gaming products. This hands-on position offers the opportunity to learn multiple production processes while working alongside an experienced team in a fast-paced manufacturing environment.

Additional Duties and Responsibilities Include:

  • Move raw materials, finished goods and production skids throughout the facility.
  • Operate and assist with production equipment, including collators, cutters, folders and packaging machinery.
  • Stage materials to maintain continuous production flow.
  • Inspect products for quality, verify serial numbers and ensure customer specifications are met.
  • Hand collate, assemble, label and package gaming products.
  • Assemble boxes, shrink-wrap products, seal cartons and prepare shipments.
  • Palletize finished products for storage and distribution.
  • Maintain accurate labeling and packaging throughout the production process.
  • Work closely with operators, leads and supervisors to meet production goals.
  • Maintain a clean, organized, and safe work environment.
  • Follow all safety procedures, quality standards and manufacturing processes.
  • Crosstrain across multiple production areas to expand your skills and support operational needs.
  • Other duties as required.

What We're Looking For

We're looking for someone who enjoys hands-on work, takes pride in producing quality products, and wants to grow with a stable manufacturing company.

  • Manufacturing, warehouse, assembly, production or packaging experience is helpful but not required-we'll train the right candidate.
  • Strong work ethic with dependable attendance.
  • Excellent attention to detail and commitment to quality.
  • Ability to read and follow written and verbal instructions.
  • Basic math and computer skills.
  • Ability to lift up to 50 pounds and perform repetitive physical tasks throughout the shift.
  • Ability to work efficiently in a fast-paced manufacturing environment.
  • Willingness to learn multiple production processes and cross-train across departments.
  • Positive attitude and strong teamwork skills.
  • Ability to work overtime as business needs require.
  • Ability to work well in a diverse environment.

Additional Requirements:

  • Must be legally authorized to work in the United States and provide documentation establishing identity and employment eligibility as required by federal law.
  • Ability to pass a background check and pre-employment drug screening.

Ensuring the safety of our employees and compliance with industry regulations is our top priority. Therefore, our company enforces a zero-tolerance policy regarding substance abuse and criminal activity. All job offers are contingent upon passing a rigorous background check and drug screen. Failure to meet these requirements will result in disqualification from the hiring process.
