Job description

Job Title: Automated Production Assistant (Weinmann Equipment)

Location: PrimeFab Production Facility

Position Type: Full-Time

Wage: $22-26 hourly

Job Overview We are looking for a tech-savvy and highly motivated Automated Production Assistant to support our advanced PrimePanel manufacturing line. This role is built around our highly automated Weinmann machinery, which drives our panelized wood framing production. You will be the crucial link between the raw materials and the automated equipment, ensuring the machines are continuously fed, monitored, and maintained to hit our daily production targets. The ideal candidate is comfortable working alongside heavy robotics, is obsessed with workflow efficiency, and has the agility to jump in wherever the line needs support.

Key Responsibilities

• Machine Tending: Safely and efficiently load raw materials (dimensional lumber, OSB, plywood) onto the Weinmann framing and sheathing stations to ensure uninterrupted production flow.
• Equipment Operation & Support: Assist the Lead Machine Operator in setting up the Weinmann equipment, monitoring the automated fastening/cutting processes, and clearing minor jams or faults.
• Material Staging: Coordinate with the logistics team to ensure the correct raw materials are kitted and staged at the machine intake exactly when needed to prevent schedule gaps.
• In-Line Quality Checks: Perform continuous visual inspections of the machine's output, checking for proper fastener depth, accurate cut dimensions, and correct material alignment, immediately flagging any defects to prevent rework.
• Preventative Maintenance: Conduct daily cleaning (e.g., clearing sawdust and debris from tracks and sensors) and basic mechanical checks on the Weinmann equipment as outlined in our shop SOPs.

Required Skills & Experience

• Manufacturing Environment: Previous experience in a fast-paced manufacturing, CNC, or automated production facility.
• Tech-Comfortable: Ability to interact with machine interfaces and digital shop floor dashboards.
• Agility & Pace: A strong understanding that machine downtime destroys budgets; must possess a proactive "hustle" to keep the line moving.
• Safety Mindset: High level of situational awareness when working around automated, moving equipment and heavy timber rigging.
• Team Player: A willingness to cross-train and jump into manual assembly, shrink-wrapping, or staging when the machine line is down or ahead of schedule.

Work Environment

• This is a non-union position in a fast-paced, high-tech production facility.
• You will work with a team that values efficiency, high-quality output, and continuous improvement.

Year-round, indoor work with a steady schedule, completely avoiding the weather delays of traditional site construction
