Looking for a part-time job that's a little different?
Floating Islands West handcrafts BioHaven® floating islands that help restore wetlands, improve water quality, and create wildlife habitat.
Since 2008, we've built each island by hand using recycled material—giving new life to material that might otherwise end up in a landfill and transforming it into products that support healthy ecosystems.
We're a small, family-owned company looking for someone dependable who enjoys working with their hands and takes pride in doing quality work.
No manufacturing experience required. We're happy to train the right person.

As part of our manufacturing team, you'll help build BioHaven® floating islands from start to finish.
- General labor and shop support
- Assist with production and assembly
- Prepare materials for manufacturing
- Measure, cut, and use hand and shop tools safely
- Inspect finished products for quality standards
- Maintain a clean and organized workspace
- Help with other shop tasks as needed
As our company continues to grow, this role has the potential to become a trusted and valuable part of our team for someone who takes pride in their work and enjoys learning new skills.
What We're Looking For:
We're more interested in work ethic and a positive attitude than experience.
You may be a good fit if you:
- Show up on time and ready to work
- Enjoy building and creating things with your hands
- Take pride in quality work
- Pay attention to detail
- Work well as part of a team
- Are willing to learn new skills
- Can lift up to 50 pounds and stay active throughout the day
Bonus Qualifications
- Basic math skills
- Valid driver's license
- Reliable transportation
- Applicants with backgrounds or interests in FFA, agricultural mechanics, welding, fabrication, manufacturing, construction, and other hands-on programs
Whether you're just starting out, looking for a career change, or seeking part-time work, we'd love to hear from you.
Schedule:
- Approximately 20 hours per week
- Flexible daytime schedule
- Monday - Friday with potential and optional Saturday availability
- Open to slightly more or less than 20 hours per week for the right candidate
Pay & Benefits: $22.00 per hour
- Paid sick leave
- On-the-job training
- Supportive, family-oriented work environment
- Opportunity for growth and advancement
- Potential for additional hours and future full-time employment (medical and dental benefits available to eligible full-time employees)
Why Join Us?
At the end of the day, you'll be able to see exactly what you helped build and know that it will help improve water quality, restore wetlands, and provide habitat for wildlife.
We're proud of the islands we build, but we're even more proud of the people who make them. Every member of our team plays an important role, and we're happy to teach the right person.

Please send your resume along with a brief introduction telling us a little about yourself and why you're interested in joining the team.
