Job description

What we do...

HindlePower has been designing and manufacturing industrial battery chargers and DC power systems for the utility industry for over 35 years. Our products serve power generation and distribution, substations, switchgear OEMs, oil and gas, and transportation maintenance facilities. We are the leader in our industry, with customers in all 50 states and around the world. The equipment you build here keeps critical power infrastructure running.

What you'll do...

As a member of our Harness Dept, you'll be a valued part of our production team. Our harness team creates the foundational wiring that will be later used to finish the final product of our battery chargers.

There's a range of work within the department:

• Crimping, labeling, and bundling wire harnesses
• Hand soldering components to PC boards
• Measuring, cutting, stripping and lugging wires
• Building subassemblies from individual components
• Testing harnesses for continuity
• Using hand tools and machinery to create harnesses

You don't need to walk in knowing any of these. We train you on them, and most people end up learning more than one. People who love doing intricate work with their hands, crafts and other small activities could thrive in this role.

In this role you'll:

• Work at a station, mostly, doing detailed work with your hands
• Clock jobs in our ERP system
• Meet the demand of the production floor
• Start on one station and pick up others over time. Most people can learn how to move and do things through the entire department, and that's how it should be.
• Read job travelers and electrical and harness prints and build to spec
• Catch problems before they move downstream. Checking your own work is part of the work here, not somebody else's job later.
• Tell us when you see a better way to do something. We're serious about this. A lot of how we build today came from someone on the floor saying there was a better way.

What you bring...

• High school diploma or equivalent
• Mechanical aptitude and comfort working with your hands
• Strong attention to detail. Our products go into substations, and there is no acceptable margin for a bad connection.
• Basic computer skills
• Assembly experience is a plus. It is not required.

Where this goes...

We run a certification program for our production employees. It has defined levels, each with a pay increase attached, and you will know exactly what it takes to reach the next one. We promote from within whenever we can.

A few things about us...

Our commitment to quality is evident in our highly skilled colleagues and our exceptional approach to customer service. We believe in rewarding hard work and offering competitive compensation, comprehensive health, vision, and dental benefits, along with a 401k plan that includes employer matching and a gain-sharing program.

At our core, we are driven by integrity and quality, constantly seeking innovative solutions and improvements. Our unique culture thrives on accountability and self-initiative, empowering every employee to make impactful contributions. In our organizational structure, your voice is heard, and your efforts are recognized. We celebrate our achievements together, whether it's over a complimentary lunch in our cafeteria or through our various team-building activities. We are a five-time Top Workplace in the Lehigh Valley and were named one of IndustryWeek's Best Plants. We are proud of our accomplishments and are continually striving to do better.

We value our employees and trust they hold these key characteristics:

• Initiative... we see it, we do it
• Ownership... I've got it, you don't need to think about it
• Integrity... decisions are based on looking at the whole picture
• Attitude... anything can be done
• Virtue... honesty, good deeds, kindness, and appreciation
• Teamwork... we before I

The details...

• Pay: $20.00 per hour to start (or more with experience), with defined increases through our certification program
• Schedule: Monday through Friday, 6:00 AM to 2:30 PM
• Overtime available
• On-site gym with locker rooms and showers
• Free lunch served Monday through Friday
• Medical, dental, and vision insurance
• 401k with employer match, plus gain-sharing
• Tuition reimbursement, employee assistance program, flexible spending account, short-term disability and life insurance
• Paid time off
