Work Environment

You will work in a small manufacturing facility of approximately 25 employees, where a small-company mentality means you will wear many hats and perform tasks beyond a narrow job description. The facility is not climate controlled, so it can be hot in the summer and cold in the winter, and some areas can become dusty and dirty. Personal protective equipment such as respirators or masks, goggles, smocks, booties, and other gear is provided. One work area requires a full gown that remains hot regardless of the ambient temperature; in this area, the team encourages frequent breaks and provides water and sports drinks to support hydration and safety. The environment is hands-on, production-focused, and safety-conscious, with an expectation that everyone contributes across multiple functions to keep operations running smoothly!
