Night-Shift Momentum

Your night starts at 3:00 PM in our Kerrville, TX facility, syncing with the team on priorities and any spec changes that could impact the shift. As production ramps, you’re the go-to voice for quick decisions, clear communication, and keeping documentation flowing. You’ll spend time at a workstation and on the floor, checking dashboards and reports, then pivoting to focused problem-solving when trends pop up. By late shift, you’re wrapping up notes for handoff, aligning on next steps, and setting the team up for a clean start tomorrow—then clocking out at 1:30 AM, Monday through Thursday.
