The company offers solid starting pay, standard benefits, paid time off, and additional details on insurance, retirement plans, and paid holidays during the interview process. This is a contract-to-hire opportunity that provides a clear path to long-term employment and growth as the organization continues to expand and plans for additional shifts.

Overtime is available, with Saturday work requested rather than required, supporting a more balanced approach to work and personal time.

• Operate press brake and/or laser machines as a working operator, running and overseeing the machine while it is in use.
• Serve as the lead point of contact on second shift for routine issues and questions, helping resolve smaller problems so they do not escalate.
• Support basic administrative and shift coordination tasks such as assisting with clocking in and out, organizing break schedules, and managing urgent emails and material issues.
• Keep the team on task and productive throughout the shift, providing general oversight and guidance to other shift operators and product generalists.
• Perform production operations related to cutting and forming metal materials including stainless steel, aluminum, and galvanized steel.
• Stand for 8–10 hours per shift while performing machine operation and production duties.
• Lift and move materials weighing approximately 50–75 pounds as part of daily production tasks.
• Operate forklifts (sit-down) and overhead cranes to move materials and finished parts safely around the shop.
• Use various hand tools to support fabrication, assembly, and secondary processes.
• Operate or support various CNC equipment and machines during downtime or as needed to maintain workflow.
• Clear parts from skeletons, count and palletize components, and ensure parts are organized and ready for downstream processes.
• Perform hardware insertion and pemming operations as required by production orders.
• Assemble parts and products and carry out secondary processes to meet production specifications.

The role is on 2nd shift, typically running from 4:30 p.m. to 2:30 a.m., Monday through Thursday, with training potentially on first shift for up to 90 days depending on how quickly you learn the tasks.

This position is based on a manufacturing floor that is not temperature controlled. In warmer months, large industrial fans and open bay doors help with airflow, while the heat generated by laser machines keeps the facility relatively comfortable during winter.
