The organization offers strong growth opportunities and a clear path for career development in a high-demand production environment.

This is a hands-on production role in a busy machining facility with significant customer demand and a large backlog of orders. There are multiple openings on first and second shift, with first shift schedules such as 5:00 a.m.–3:30 p.m. or 6:00 a.m.–4:30 p.m., and second shift schedules such as 2:00 p.m.–12:30 a.m. or 3:00 p.m.–1:30 a.m. The environment is non-climate-controlled and involves cutting metals, so it can be dirty depending on the task and very hot during summer months.
