• Demonstrate reliability, professionalism, and teamwork, with consistent attendance and engagement on shift.

What you'll bring:

• A proven ability to learn quickly, adapt to new processes, and take on new technical skills with confidence.
• Comfort working with modern production technology and a curiosity to understand how equipment and systems operate.
• Strong communication skills in English, both verbal and written, with the ability to work effectively across teams and shifts.
• Flexibility with scheduling, including availability for different shifts, weekends, or overtime as production needs evolve.
• A team-first mindset - you collaborate openly, support your coworkers, and help maintain a positive, productive environment.
• A commitment to safety and quality, ensuring every product meets high standards and every task is completed with care.
• The ability to work efficiently and with precision, even in a fast-paced, hands-on manufacturing setting.

Essential physical capabilities:

• Ability to perform hands-on, physically active work for extended periods - up to 12-hour shifts.
• Frequently and repetitively lift, push, or carry up to 35 lbs as part of daily operations.
• Able to stand, walk, and move continuously throughout long production shifts.
• Comfortable performing a range of movements such as bending, reaching, squatting, kneeling, twisting, and climbing, sometimes in tight or elevated spaces.
• Capable of climbing and maintaining balance on ladders, platforms, or other elevated work areas when required.
• Able to detect process or safety issues through sight, touch, and hearing, and respond appropriately to signals or alarms.
• Skilled in handling tools and fasteners accurately and efficiently within expected production cycle times.
• Willing to work around common industrial materials and follow all safety and waste‑handling procedures.
• Must be able to wear required Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) - including safety glasses, safety shoes, gloves, hearing protection, bump caps, or respirators - and adhere to all company safety standards.

Why join Very Good:

• Work directly with industry-leading alcohol brands on innovation projects. Your friends will be impressed. We have fun doing cool stuff.
• Work with cutting‑edge engineering and fabrication resources, including in‑house sanitary welding, CNC machine, and 3D printing capabilities.
