Job description

We’re looking for SKILLED MACHINE OPERATORS to join our 2nd and 3rd shift production teams. Our operators are trained to use tools for set-up, changeovers, and troubleshooting while running different products, each with unique characteristics to adapt the machine to. If you want a career, not just a job, and are looking for a work "home," apply to find out what makes tesa so special!

Who/what are we looking for?

1. Individuals who have mechanical aptitude and the ability to solve problems while thinking outside the box.
2. Stable work history - training takes 3 - 6 months on all our machines (no one comes here knowing how to make tape, so we will train you to make products for cars, appliances, construction, overnight mail envelopes, and much more).

Reasons people stay at tesa:

1. Above average pay - we pay new hires based on job-related experience and there are multiple job levels to achieve through gaining new skills.
2. Skill-based pay - when you gain new skills by learning a new machine, your pay rate is increased.
3. Quarterly bonus - new employees are eligible from day 1. It has never been missed, even during COVID.
4. Merit increase - annual performance reviews with potential increases, too.
5. Education assistance - tuition reimbursement and a free Mechatronics apprenticeship for eligible employees.
6. Opportunity for OT - when you sign up and work OT, it increases your quarterly bonus.
7. Profit sharing 401(k) bonus - tesa contributes up to 7% of gross annual earnings to eligible employees' 401(k) in addition to the 50% match up to 6%.
8. Culture of respect - you will be asked for your opinion by engineers and management alike.
9. Job security - we’ve been here for 42+ years and continue to expand our facility.
10. Benefits start the 1st of the month after hire - 2 medical plans, dental, vision, disability, life, and more.
11. PTO and sick time available after your first 3 months - 18 days combined per year, prorated; neither have to be used before the end of the year.
12. Holiday pay - eligible immediately and holiday work is extremely rare. Family time is important to us, too.
