Production Associate - Industrial Distribution and Manufacturing

The Role

The Production Associate role is a step up from general warehouse work. You will be performing more involved hose assembly tasks, reading and interpreting work orders, and ensuring assemblies meet our quality and specification standards. Some prior experience working with or building hose assemblies—or in a hands‑on manufacturing environment—is expected.

You will work as part of a production team, contribute to daily build targets, and be expected to apply your experience to produce consistent, high‑quality output with less direct supervision than entry‑level roles.

• Experience with crimping machines, skiving equipment, or fitting installation is a plus
