Job description

3rd Shift Production Specialist

$20 - $25 per hour | Northfield, MN | On-site | Consulting

11 p.m. - 6 a.m. 3 month contract to hire with full benefits on us!

A bit about us:

This is a 3rd shift role with the hours from 10 p.m. - 6 am. Our client is a privately held precision manufacturer based in Minnesota, operating multiple facilities dedicated to the production of specialty flexible circuits, rigid flex printed circuit boards, and custom engineered heating elements. Founded over four decades ago, this company has built a reputation for delivering mission-critical components to some of the most technically demanding industries in existence, including medical devices, aerospace, defense, and analytical laboratory instrumentation.

The products manufactured here are not commodity items. They are highly engineered solutions where accuracy, repeatability, and attention to detail directly affect the performance of life-saving devices, defense systems, and advanced scientific equipment. The people on the production floor are central to that mission, and this company knows it.

With a team-oriented culture, stable ownership, and a genuine sense of community across their workforce, this is a place where skilled production employees are valued and recognized for the precision work they do every day.

Why join us?

This company has built something rare in manufacturing: a floor culture where people actually enjoy coming to work. Employee tenure speaks for itself, with many team members staying for a decade or more. That kind of retention does not happen by accident.

• Meaningful work — the components produced here end up in medical devices, aerospace systems, and defense electronics where performance cannot fail
• Family-like team environment with approachable leadership that communicates openly and treats people with respect
• Scholarship program available to employees' children and grandchildren, reflecting a genuine investment in families, not just workers
• Competitive pay and a comprehensive benefits package including medical and dental insurance, 401(k), paid vacation and holidays, health savings accounts, flexible spending accounts, life and disability insurance, and an employee referral bonus program
• Opportunities to grow within a company that promotes from within and rewards reliability and craftsmanship
• Clean, organized work environment with an emphasis on safety and quality at every station

Job Details

What You Will Do:

• Operate production equipment to manufacture flexible circuits, rigid flex boards, flexible heaters, or related specialty electronic components according to established work instructions and quality standards
• Inspect finished and in-process product using visual inspection techniques and precision measuring tools to ensure conformance to specifications
• Follow traveler documentation and standard operating procedures accurately and completely at each stage of the production process
• Identify and communicate defects, process deviations, or material issues to leads or quality personnel promptly
• Maintain a clean and organized workstation and adhere to all safety and housekeeping standards
• Participate in continuous improvement initiatives and contribute ideas for process efficiency and quality enhancement
• Cross-train across multiple production areas to support operational flexibility
• Complete all required production documentation accurately and in a timely manner

What You Bring:

• Prior experience in a manufacturing, assembly, or production environment is preferred; willingness to learn is equally important for candidates new to the field
• High attention to detail with the ability to perform precise, repetitive tasks consistently and accurately
• Good manual dexterity and comfort working with small components under magnification
• Ability to read and follow written work instructions, travelers, and standard operating procedures
• Strong teamwork orientation with a collaborative, solutions-focused mindset
• Reliability and punctuality with a commitment to showing up and contributing every shift
• Ability to stand for extended periods and lift up to 30 lbs
• High school diploma or GED required; any technical coursework or vocational training is a plus

Physical Requirements:

• Ability to stand or sit at a workstation for the duration of a shift
• Comfort performing fine motor tasks requiring sustained focus and precision
• Ability to work in a temperature-controlled manufacturing environment
• Occasional lifting up to 50 lbs
