Department: CIM

FSLA: Hourly, non-exempt

Status: Full-time

Schedule: 40 hours per week

Who we are looking for: You are naturally organized, good at keeping track of details, and enjoy working with your hands. In this role, you act as the "traffic controller" for our production. You will be responsible for matching specific dental products to the right material and ensuring every item ends up in the correct tray as it moves down the line. You will also handle the finishing touches—like cutting, heating, and refining the materials. You need a steady hand and good coordination to handle small parts without breaking them. If you prefer order and process, and are good at keeping things sorted, you will fit right in. No experience in dental is needed; we will train you.
