Position Overview
We’re looking for a reliable, detail-oriented Production Assistant to work directly alongside our Production Manager as a two-person shop team. You’ll be making bats, shipping orders, and documenting production from start to finish. The right candidate takes pride in precision and understands that in a small craft manufacturing environment, quality is personal — your name is on every bat that ships.
This role is full-time, 40 hours per week. For the right person, there is genuine opportunity for growth as we expand.
Responsibilities
- Execute the full bat production cycle alongside the Production Manager — turning support, finishing, and quality control
- Apply finish coats per established protocols, tracking coat counts and weights at each stage
- Sand, buff, and prepare bat surfaces between finishing stages
- Receive and inspect billets; record weights and lot information accurately
- Perform in-process quality checks: weight, diameter measurements, and visual inspection
- Pack and ship finished orders accurately and on time
- Maintain thorough production records for every bat
- Keep the shop clean, organized, and operating safely
Qualifications
Required:
- Strong attention to detail — this is precision craft manufacturing, not high-volume assembly
- Ability to follow written protocols and document work accurately
- Comfortable working with finishing chemicals; willingness to follow all PPE and ventilation requirements
- Reliable, consistent attendance — as a two-person team, your presence directly affects output
- Ability to stand for extended periods and lift up to 50 lbs
Preferred:
- Prior experience in woodworking, finish carpentry, cabinet making, lutherie, or a related trade
- Familiarity with calipers, digital scales, or other precision measurement tools
- Experience operating a camera for photo/video content capture — not required, but a genuine bonus
- Baseball background or genuine interest in the game — it matters when you understand what you’re making
Compensation & Benefits
- Pay: Competitive hourly, depending on experience
- Schedule: Full-time, 40 hours per week, Monday–Friday
- Health insurance offered; employer covers 50% of the premium
- Real opportunities for advancement for motivated, enterprising individuals
