Our industries have expanded to include light industrial, skilled trades, food prep, manufacturing, machine operations, and packaging & fulfillment. But our approach hasn’t changed: move quickly, understand the work inside and out, and never lose sight of the people behind it.

What You’ll Do:

• Check parts being produced for defects.
• Report discrepancies to supervisor.
• Verify correct packing, labels at machine.
• Weigh cartons as completed. Scan cartons to inventory and move to inspection hold.
• Monitor machine operation.
• Keep work area tidy.

What We’re Looking For:

• Combine partial cartons as directed by supervisor.
• Monitor reject bins at conveyors, disposition product as directed.
• Setup packaging as required.
• Clean equipment as directed by supervisor.
• Other tasks as directed by supervisor.
