Production Associate – Cross-Functional Manufacturing Team
$19.10–$20.10 per hour | Full-time, Monday–Friday | 7:30 AM–4:30 PM | Alden, NY
No manufacturing experience? That’s okay-we’ll train you.
Many of our successful employees had never worked in manufacturing before joining Hubco.
We offer a clean, light manufacturing environment, paid hands-on training and a supportive team that will help you learn the job. Our employees speak English, Arabic and Bengali, creating a welcoming workplace for people from a variety of backgrounds.
This position is a little different from a traditional production job. Instead of performing the same task every day, you will learn multiple parts of our manufacturing process and work where your help is needed most.
It is a great opportunity for someone who enjoys variety, likes staying busy and wants to understand how a product is made from start to finish.
What You’ll Do
You will support each of Hubco’s four core production departments:
- Riveting: Assemble backing components from raw materials
- Foam Molding: Help produce polyurethane sanding pads
- Secondary Processing: Perform post-molding work, including creating vacuum patterns
- Labeling and Packaging: Finish, label and prepare products for shipment
Your day-to-day work may include:
- Rotating between departments based on production needs
- Learning and supporting polyurethane molding operations
- Assembling product components
- Performing detailed post-molding production work
- Inspecting products for quality
- Labeling, packaging and preparing finished products
- Helping move work efficiently between departments
- Supporting high-priority production areas and bottlenecks
- Following established production and safety procedures
- Keeping your work area clean, organized and safe
Each day may look a little different. You will receive hands-on training in each department, and previous manufacturing experience is not required.
