• Strong situational awareness and a commitment to safety
• Ability to lift, carry, and move materials throughout the workday
• Comfort working in a fast-paced manufacturing environment
• Reliable, team-oriented, and able to communicate effectively with production staff
• Prior material handling or warehouse experience preferred

Physical & Work Environment Requirements
• Ability to stand, walk, lift, push, and pull throughout the shift
• Ability to routinely lift and move materials up to 50 lbs
• Frequent bending, reaching, and handling of materials and equipment
• Work performed in a non–climate-controlled manufacturing environment (heat, cold, humidity, noise, and airborne particles)
• Ability to safely operate around moving machinery, forklifts, and active production areas

Why Work Here
We offer competitive weekly pay, great benefits, paid time off and holidays, a 401(k) with company match, and a team-oriented environment focused on craftsmanship and innovation.
