Job description

Shipping & Crating Technician – Day Shift

Conveyor Concepts (CCMich) | Coopersville, MI

Conveyor Concepts (CCMich) is an engineer-driven manufacturing company that designs and builds custom material-handling systems. Our shipping work supports one‑of‑a‑kind equipment—not boxed inventory or pre‑packaged products.

This role is best suited for someone who enjoys hands‑on, physical work, building and securing large shipments, and working in a manufacturing environment where no two shipments look exactly the same.

Important to Know Before Applying

This is not a traditional warehouse, pick/pack, or scanning role.

If your experience is primarily pulling items from shelves, scanning barcodes, and placing products into boxes, this position will not be a good fit.

Our Shipping & Crating Technicians:

Build custom wooden skids and crates from scratch

Measure, support, and secure large, fabricated steel and conveyor components

Use judgment and problem‑solving—not a scanner or packing list—to prepare shipments safely

• Four 10-hour shifts

• No mandatory weekends: Saturdays are voluntary; Sundays are never scheduled
• Safety‑first culture: PPE, safety boots, and prescription safety glasses provided
• Stable employment: We work hard to keep our team working steady hours year‑round
• Hands‑on leadership: Supervisors are on the floor and available
• Small‑business environment: You’re known by name and your work is noticed
• Monthly catered lunches and free snacks daily

Schedule

4 days: 5:00 AM – 3:30 PM

5th day: 5:00 AM – 11:30 AM

Pay & Benefits

• Pay Range: $18.00 – $22.00 per hour (based on experience)
• Employment Type: Full-Time
• Benefits Include:
• Health, dental, vision, life, short- and long-term disability insurance
• 401(k) retirement plan
• Paid Time Off based on years of service
• 9 paid holidays

• Verify shipment contents against shipping records
• Photograph completed shipments for documentation
• Manage time and priorities based on shipping schedules
• Record shipment weight and dimensions and communicate details to scheduling
• Maintain a clean, organized shipping area
• Transport materials using a forklift (hi-lo)

What We’re Looking For

• Comfortable with physical, hands‑on work throughout the shift
• Strong ability to read a tape measure and work with dimensions
• Experience in manufacturing, fabrication, shipping, or construction preferred
• Forklift (hi-lo) experience preferred
• Ability to lift up to 50 lbs
• High school diploma or GED
• Must be 18 years or older
• Valid driver’s license required

This Role Is a Great Fit If You

• Enjoy building, measuring, and working with your hands
• Like variety and problem‑solving over repetitive tasks
• Have worked in manufacturing, fabrication, construction, or industrial shipping

• Prefer scanning, picking, and packing small items
• Are looking for a traditional warehouse or distribution role
• Prefer repetitive, highly automated work
