Description

Ready to build parts that matter?

Pac Aero is looking for a Plating Utility Technician to join our manufacturing team in Agawam, MA. In this hands‑on role, you’ll support multiple plating operations used in the production of high‑precision components for critical aerospace applications.

We’re looking for someone who takes pride in their work, pays attention to the details, and wants to build their skills in a specialized manufacturing environment. Plating experience is preferred, but we’re also open to candidates with relevant manufacturing experience and a strong willingness to learn.

• Monthly bonus opportunities
• 12 paid company holidays — including your birthday!
• Medical, dental, vision, disability coverage & more
• 401(k) with up to 4% company match
• Employer HSA contribution
• Separate PTO and sick time
• Employee events, celebrations and recognition throughout the year
• Stable, growing aerospace manufacturing environment with opportunities to develop your skills and career

At Pac Aero, we work hard, have fun, and get stuff done. We believe culture matters — from recognizing great work and celebrating wins to creating a place where people enjoy coming to work and feel like part of the team.

As a Plating Utility Technician, you’ll support and train across multiple plating operations, including blasting, degreasing, chem film and other plating processes. You’ll work hands‑on with parts throughout the process while learning the procedures, quality requirements and safe chemical‑handling practices required within the department.

You’ll work closely with the Plating team to keep production moving safely and efficiently while maintaining the quality our customers expect.

Experience in electroplating, metal finishing, surface treatment or a similar manufacturing environment is preferred, but it isn’t required. We’re also interested in candidates with a strong manufacturing foundation who are comfortable working around chemicals, following detailed processes and learning new technical skills.

You don’t need to know every plating process on day one. If you’re reliable, detail-oriented, hands‑on and ready to learn, we want to hear from you.
