Your Mission, Should You Choose to Accept:

As a key player in our production team, you're not just operating machinery; you're the heartbeat of a process that ensures the safety and security of countless individuals and institutions. With every part you craft for our high-security locks and keys, you're building trust and peace of mind. This isn't just a job; it's a commitment to excellence and reliability.

Who We Are Searching For:

We're on the hunt for a team player who's ready to bring their mechanical savvy and problem-solving abilities to the forefront of security technology. You're perfect for this role if you have:

  • A High School diploma (or equivalency) and are mechanically inclined with a knack for mathematics and technology.
  • The physical ability to become one with your machine—understanding, operating, troubleshooting, and maybe even whispering to it to keep things running smoothly.
  • Basic computer skills to keep up with the digital side of manufacturing.
  • The strength to lift up to 40 pounds (occasionally) and the agility to navigate the dynamic landscape of a manufacturing production floor.
  • A team-oriented mindset, armed with effective communication skills, ready to collaborate, innovate, and excel.

What You Will Be Doing:

  • Become skilled at operating CNC machinery, playing a critical role in assembling the components that define security.
  • Dive into the world of assembly and secondary machining, where precision meets efficiency.
  • Collaborate with your peers and supervisor to synchronize production schedules and set new standards of productivity and efficiency.
  • Champion quality and punctuality, pushing the boundaries to exceed customer expectations.
  • Engage in team strategizing to enhance performance, tackle challenges, and elevate workplace safety and organization.
  • Rise to meet (and surpass) performance benchmarks.
  • Take advantage of opportunities for overtime, contributing to the team's success during peak production periods.
  • Uphold our company's standards, policies, and procedures, becoming an ambassador for our culture of excellence.
