In this hands‑on manufacturing role, you’ll help move products through the final stages of production, including assembly, finishing, inspection, and packaging. Depending on your assigned station, you may be responsible for checking finished products, packing materials, moving components, or supporting the flow of the production line.

This is an active, fast‑paced environment where you’ll spend your shift on your feet, working with your hands, and helping your team hit daily production targets.

We’re looking for reliable, hardworking individuals who are comfortable with physical work and eager to develop new skills.

• Line Production Support: Handle materials coming off the production line, maintain an efficient workflow, and help ensure production stays on schedule.
• Product Inspection: Check components and completed products for visible defects, damage, and other quality concerns.
• Material Movement: Lift, carry, load, unload, and organize materials and finished products within the manufacturing area.
• Workplace Safety: Maintain a clean, orderly workstation and follow all facility safety guidelines and operating procedures.
• Collaboration & Training: Support fellow team members and learn additional production tasks and workstations as needed.
