Powder Coating Systems is currently looking for a Packing Lead for their Swing Shift. 

This is an hourly position. The starting pay for this position is $22-25 per hour based on previous experience. 

Swing shift runs from 1:00 PM to 9:30PM Monday through Friday.  

The Packing Lead is responsible to leading a small team in inspecting and packing completed parts. 

The Lead is expected to be part of the team and participate in the process. 

There will be times the Packing Lead will be running the entire shift when their Supervisor is absent. 

This is an extremely physical position, requiring constant standing, bending, moving and lifting up to fifty pounds. 

This position also requires knowledge of how to operate a sit-down forklift although formal certification isn't required. 

We also do require employees to wear steel/composite footwear while on the floor. 

Previous packing leads have moved on to become Supervisors as well as some other positions in our small company. 

Powder Coating Systems offers the following benefits to their employees after they complete their first ninety days of service:

-A current Driver's License (This is required to operate our forklifts.) 

-The originals of I-9 documentation. (Immigration requires all employees to be able to prove their identity and their work eligibility within the first two days of hire. They do not allow us to use copies of the documents for proof. By law, we can't require which documents we can take. A Google search for I-9 documents can list the possible documents we can take.) 

The following are not mandatory, but may be helpful to be a more effective Packing Lead:
