Cross-Functional Production Associate

Hubco, Inc.
Alden, NY Full Time
POSTED ON 4/16/2026
AVAILABLE BEFORE 6/16/2026

Tired of Doing the Same Task Every Day?

At Hubco, we manufacture industry-leading polyurethane sanding pads used around the world. Our reputation is built on quality, consistency, and a team that takes real pride in what they produce.

We’re looking to add to our high-performing manufacturing team where people don’t just work a job - they learn the full process, develop real skills, and grow into bigger roles over time.

If you’re someone who likes variety, staying busy, and understanding how things are made from start to finish, this is a job for you.

Position Overview – Cross-Functional Production Associate

We’re hiring a Cross-Functional Production Associate to support all four of our core production departments:

  • Riveting – assembly of backing components from raw materials
  • Molding – polyurethane molding and production
  • Secondary – post-molding processing (including creating vacuum patterns)
  • Labeling & Packaging – finishing and preparing products for shipment

This is a hands-on, dynamic role where you’ll rotate between departments based on daily production needs.

Each day will look different and you’ll gain exposure to each step of our process, from raw material to finished product.

What You’ll Do

  • Work across all four departments depending on production needs
  • Learn and support polyurethane molding operations
  • Assist with riveting and assembly of backing components
  • Support secondary processing, including precision post-molding work
  • Help with labeling, packaging, and final product preparation
  • Maintain quality standards across all stages of production
  • Help keep workflow moving efficiently between departments
  • Step in where needed to support high-priority areas or bottlenecks
  • Maintain a clean, organized, and efficient workspace

What We’re Looking For

  • Willingness to learn multiple departments and processes
  • Adaptable and comfortable switching between different types of work
  • Strong work ethic and reliability
  • Attention to detail and commitment to quality
  • Positive attitude and team-first mindset

Why This Job Stands Out

  • Variety of work throughout the week
  • Learn all four departments and how they connect
  • Build a true understanding of the full manufacturing process
  • Clean, organized, light manufacturing environment
  • Hands-on leadership that supports and develops the team
  • Real growth opportunities as you gain experience across operations

Who You Are

  • You like learning how things work from start to finish
  • You’re dependable and ready to help wherever needed
  • You take pride in doing high-quality work
  • You want a role where you can grow by mastering multiple skills

Schedule & Pay

  • Full-time (40 hours/week optional overtime)
  • $18–$19.50/hour based on fit

Physical Requirements

  • Standing and moving throughout the shift
  • Repetitive tasks
  • Ability to lift up to 50 lbs (rare)
