This is a skilled trade role, and we' re willing to train someone who has the right foundation. If you' re mechanical, detail-oriented, and take pride in keeping things running, this is an opportunity to grow into a higher-level production role with a stable, long-standing company.

What you' ll be doing
  • Operating and monitoring high-speed production machinery during a 12-hour shift
  • Adjusting and calibrating machine settings when changing between job specs
  • Troubleshooting malfunctions and making corrections to minimize downtime
  • Inspecting finished product throughout the job and correcting quality issues in real time
  • Performing routine maintenance and minor repairs as directed
  • Communicating equipment and job status clearly at every shift change

You might be a great fit if you
  • Have a mechanical background or strong mechanical aptitude — you can figure out how things work
  • Have experience with machine operation, setup, or troubleshooting in any industry
  • Catch quality issues early and take ownership of fixing them
  • Can work independently through a long shift with minimal supervision
  • Are physically able to stand most of the shift and lift up to 75 lbs
  • Come from manufacturing, skilled trades, or a hands-on technical role — exact experience not required

This is a trainee role — full training is provided. We' re looking for mechanical aptitude and drive, not a perfect resume.

 

Skills you' ll build
  • Machine setup & calibration
  • Mechanical troubleshooting
  • Quality control procedures
  • Production optimization
  • Preventive maintenance
  • Production recordkeeping
