Job Overview

  • Machine Assistance: Assist operators with the loading and unloading of machinery and the staging of raw materials.
  • Workflow Continuity: Clear bottlenecks by moving finished parts to designated areas and ensuring work-in-progress (WIP) is organized and labeled correctly.
  • Site Stewardship: Adhere to all safety policies and PPE requirements while maintaining a clean, organized, and efficient workspace.

Qualifications And Essential Functions

  • Manual Dexterity: Skilled in the use of small hand tools, power tools, and basic shop equipment.
  • Operational Literacy: Solid basic math and counting skills; ability to follow written work instructions and maintain accurate paperwork.
  • Physical Stamina: Ability to lift up to 50 lbs., bend, sit, and stand repeatedly in a fast-paced manufacturing environment.
  • Team Orientation: A strong work ethic and a "team-first" attitude with a willingness to assist any department as directed.
  • Shop Knowledge: Basic understanding of shop measurements and safety standards.
