You will join a growing manufacturing operation with consistent work and the opportunity for a contract-to-hire arrangement, offering stability and long-term potential. The organization is building a fun, engaging environment that supports teamwork and continuous improvement. You can expect opportunities for overtime, hands-on experience with modern manufacturing processes, and the chance to contribute directly to the quality of products in a dynamic, evolving facility.

This role is based on-site in a manufacturing facility with a hands-on, production-focused setting. You will routinely work near moving mechanical parts and use hand and power tools to perform inspections. The environment can be very hot at times, with fans in use to provide airflow, and you may occasionally be exposed to hot…
