Why Work Here?

You will join a busy, growing, family-owned organization where career advancement is encouraged and supported.

The role is on second shift, typically 11:30 a.m. to 8:00 p.m., with initial training on a 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. schedule for a couple of months until you can perform the role independently. The work is physically demanding and requires the ability to lift 75 pounds independently and frequently, handle heavy and dense wire, and spend most of the shift on your feet.
