  • Sanding or finishing
  • Machine operation
  • Manufacturing or production
  • Construction or carpentry
  • Other hands-on mechanical or shop experience

You don't have to know everything. We value mechanical ability, dependability, attention to detail, and a willingness to learn.

A good fit for this position will:
  • Be dependable and show up ready to work
  • Be comfortable using tools and machinery
  • Be able to read a tape measure
  • Have good attention to detail
  • Be comfortable standing and working on your feet throughout the day
