The General Laborer supports manufacturing processes throughout the facility by performing various labor tasks on an as-needed basis. Assignments may vary from one day to the next and will occasionally include periods of intense physical labor. A track record of reliability and a willingness to perform a variety of manufacturing tasks is critical for this role. The ideal candidate must be able to work comfortably as part of a team and as an individual contributor. To be successful in this role, the General Laborer must be able to learn quickly and adapt to changing priorities while regularly checking their work for accuracy.
Primary Responsibilities:
  • Prepare glass and raw materials for production.
  • Fill pots, crush cullet, form refractories, and monitor melts.
  • Assist with shop setups, changeovers, and breakdowns.
  • Inspect, handle, and transport glass products.

Minimum Qualifications:
  • Education: High School Diploma or General Education Diploma (GED).
  • Experience: While 1-3 years in manufacturing is preferred, it's not required. We're looking for a willingness to learn and grow; this position does not involve forklift operation, warehousing tasks, or assembly lines.
  • Willingness to work any shift, including overnight, weekends, and holidays.
  • Basic math skills, the ability to follow instructions, and a knack for learning new tasks quickly.

Employment Requirements:
To be considered for employment, candidates must:

  • Successfully pass a pre-employment background check, consistent with applicable law.
  • Ability to maintain regular, dependable attendance and reliably report to work as scheduled.
  • Successfully complete a 90-day probationary period upon hire.

Access to our facility (and therefore, employment) is restricted under the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR) to U.S. Citizens and permanent residents of the United States. Applicants receiving a conditional offer of employment will be required to provide information to determine whether they are subject to these regulations and, if so, to assess their country of chargeability for export control purposes.
