Job Overview:

Kamps is seeking dependable, hardworking individuals to join our team as Pallet Repair Technicians. In this role, you'll inspect, repair, and prepare wooden pallets to meet customer specifications while helping maintain a safe and productive manufacturing environment.

This is a physically demanding position involving the repair and handling of solid wood pallets that require repetitive lifting and movement throughout the workday. Employees should be prepared for continuous physical activity, including lifting, carrying, bending, pushing, pulling, and standing for the duration of their shift. Our facility is covered but open to the elements, so employees work in varying weather conditions throughout the year. This is not a climate-controlled work environment.

Steel-toe boots and appropriate work attire are required due to the physical nature of the job. Kamps reimburses up to $50 annually toward the purchase of required safety footwear.

Many of our production positions are performance-based (piece-rate), allowing employees to increase their earnings as they build speed, quality, and consistency. Training is provided, and motivated employees have the opportunity to earn well above the hourly base rate. We're looking for dependable individuals who are eager to work, contribute to a productive team, and take advantage of opportunities for growth within our expanding organization.
