Job description

JOIN OUR PRODUCTION TEAM

Production Worker

Display Supply & Lighting, Inc. | Itasca, Illinois

Do you enjoy hands-on work, solving practical problems, and seeing a project move from parts to a finished product? Join our small, fast-moving team and help assemble, test, package, and ship lighting products and custom manufacturing projects.

Full-time, on-site | Monday-Friday, regular business hours | $21.00-$26.00 per hour, based on experience and skill level

Why This Role Stands Out

Variety is built into the work. You may assemble a fixture, configure a smart controller, inspect a sample, or prepare a custom shipment - all while helping a small team keep quality and customer commitments on track.

What You Will Do

• Assemble lighting products, smart controllers, samples, and large-format fixtures using work instructions, drawings, photos, and bills of material.
• Perform basic setup and IP configuration for network-enabled lighting and control products.
• Receive, label, organize, inspect, test, and route samples; report defects, missing parts, or configuration concerns.
• Support customer-specific assembly and modification work, including packing, staging, and general production labor.
• Build pallets, crates, and protective packaging, then label and stage finished goods for shipment.
• Safely move materials and keep production and warehouse areas clean, organized, and ready for the next job.

What You Bring

• A dependable, team-oriented approach and the flexibility to help across production, quality, samples, packaging, shipping, and warehouse work.
• Strong attention to detail and the ability to follow written and verbal instructions accurately.
• Comfort with hand tools, basic power and measuring tools, packaging materials, and standard warehouse equipment.
• Basic computer skills for documentation, labels, email, and simple product configuration.
• The ability to stand, bend, reach, push, pull, and lift up to 75 lbs. independently; heavier items are handled with assistance or equipment.

Helpful experience: assembly, manufacturing, warehouse, shipping, lighting, electrical, trades, staging, installation, palletizing, crating, material handling, or connected-device configuration.

Benefits

Healthcare insurance, dental and vision insurance, a 401(k) with a 3% safe harbor contribution, and paid time off.
