We are hiring Manufacturing Associates to support a stable, high-demand production facility in Gray, ME. This role focuses on small-part and electronic bench-style assembly in a clean, organized light-manufacturing environment.

In addition to newly increased pay rates on all shifts, these positions offer consistent schedules, predictable hours, and a clear temp-to-hire path for candidates who demonstrate reliability, attention to detail, and a willingness to learn.

The facility is centrally located with an easy commute from Portland, Freeport, Windham, Mechanic Falls, Lewiston/Auburn, and surrounding areas.

• Assembling small parts or electronic components using written instructions, diagrams, or work orders
• Using hand tools or small power tools to complete assemblies
• Performing light soldering
• Inspecting finished pieces to ensure they meet quality and accuracy standards
• Preparing completed products for packaging, storage, or shipment
• Recording basic production or quality data using simple computer systems

This is detail-focused, repetitive work that rewards accuracy, consistency, and focus.

This Role Is a Good Fit If You:

• Have prior manufacturing, assembly, or production experience
• Are comfortable following step-by-step instructions (written and verbal)
• Enjoy bench-style or station-based work
• Pay close attention to detail and take pride in doing things correctly
• Are dependable, show up consistently, and work well with a team
• Are open to learning new tasks or rotating between assembly areas

Requirements:

• Previous assembly or manufacturing experience (preferred)
• Basic computer skills (entering data, reading electronic work orders)
• Ability to remain focused on repetitive tasks for extended periods
• Post-offer background check will be required

Candidates that can demonstrate a strong attendance history and a clearly communication their prior assembly, electronic, or mechanical experience tend to stand out amongst the crowd of applicants.

Important to Know:

This role is not physically intense and does not require industrial machine operation, but it does require consistency, attention to detail, and comfort performing the same or similar tasks throughout the day. So, if you are looking for a job where you know what to expect every day, a clean, focused, and professional environment - this is probably right up your alley.

What the Hiring Process Looks Like:

Qualified candidates typically move through the process within about 2 weeks, following a screening completed by a Recruiter, an onsite client interview, a manual dexterity test to ensure you can be successful in the job, and background check.
