Why Work Here?

Employees benefit from a structured pay progression within a unionized environment, with the opportunity to transition to permanent status after approximately three months based on attendance and performance. The organization offers medical and dental benefits after permanent hire and provides clear pathways for skill development and career growth. Team members gain exposure to a variety of machines and production areas, supported by a stable workforce with many long-tenured employees, creating a setting where you can continuously upgrade your skills and earning potential within a large, established international organization.

Work Environment

The role is based in a loud industrial production facility that manufactures HVAC products. The plant can become warm during the summer months and may be somewhat dirty due to the nature of industrial work. Employees work directly with insulation materials, including fiberglass, and must be comfortable with potential itchiness from these materials. There are two main shifts available: a day shift from 7:00 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. and an afternoon shift from 3:30 p.m. to 12:00 a.m. Afternoon shift employees require access to a car, as public transit is not available at the end of the shift. After approximately three months, employees may be considered for permanent union membership based on attendance, performance, and headcount, which includes a base pay increase when permanent. The dress code prohibits shorts, hats, and loose-fitting clothing, as well as bracelets or necklaces, to maintain safety around machinery. Steel-toed safety shoes are required, and the company provides additional personal protective equipment such as work suits, gloves, and goggles.
