E-Coat Raker – General Production

The E-Coat Raker supports the ecoat production line by using a rake to evenly distribute screws and other product on a moving conveyor so they can be properly coated in the ecoat machine. This role is highly physical and requires sustained shoulder-height work, frequent heavy lifting, and constant attention to product flow and equipment jams in a fast-paced manufacturing environment.

• Use a rake at shoulder height to evenly spread screws and other product across a conveyor belt so items feed correctly into the ecoat machine.
• Monitor product flow on the conveyor and ensure items enter the ecoat process smoothly and consistently.
• Adjust and reposition product on the line to support even coating and prevent build-up or uneven distribution.
• Identify and clear jams in the ecoat process safely and promptly to minimize downtime.
• Fill buckets, move product, and handle materials as needed to keep the line supplied and running efficiently.
• Perform physically demanding tasks for extended periods, including holding the rake parallel to the floor for up to several hours at a time.
• Follow written work instructions in English and adhere to established production procedures and quality standards.
• Work collaboratively with team members and rotate tasks when directed to manage fatigue and maintain productivity.
• Operate safely in a loud, heavy manufacturing environment and comply with all safety rules, including use of required personal protective equipment.
• Participate in required safety training and successfully complete a safety test based on training materials.

• High school diploma or equivalent.
• Ability to consistently lift over 75 lbs throughout the shift.
• At least 6 months of warehouse experience.
• At least 6 months of picking experience.
• At least 6 months of packing experience.
• Good communication skills to work effectively with team members and follow instructions.
• Good, stable job history with at least 1.5 years at a single company in a recent role.
• Ability to follow written work instructions in English.
• Ability to pass a safety test based on a training video, demonstrating reading comprehension and understanding of safety practices.
• Ability to perform repetitive, physically demanding tasks, including extended periods of shoulder-height work.

• Experience in general production, sorting, and material handling.
• Experience in manufacturing or heat treat, coating, or similar industrial processes.
• Forklift experience in a warehouse or production environment.
• Demonstrated reliability and longevity in previous roles, especially in physically demanding positions.
• Comfort working in a loud, true manufacturing setting with heavy equipment and continuous production lines.

Employees benefit from strong long-term opportunities in a stable manufacturing environment, with great benefits available for full-time team members. The workplace values reliable, hard-working individuals who show longevity in their work history and offers the chance to build a lasting career in production.

This role is based in a large, true manufacturing facility within the ecoat department, where production lines run continuously and the environment is very loud. The position is on 2nd shift, typically from 3:00 p.m. to 11:30 p.m. Work is highly physical, involving heavy lifting, repetitive movements, and extended periods of holding a rake at shoulder height while working at a conveyor that is approximately 3–4 feet high.

Candidates should expect a fast-paced setting focused on production output and safety, with potential rotation between tasks such as raking, filling buckets, moving product, and clearing jams. Steel-toed boots, safety gloves, and safety glasses are required at all times, and employees must follow strict safety procedures and pass a safety test after viewing a training video.
