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.

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

Why You’ll Like Working Here

• Four 10-hour shifts
• Limited overtime: Half-day on the fifth day per week as needed
• 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

• 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
  • Annual bonus opportunities
  • Employee Assistance Program
  • Safety shoe reimbursement
  • Prescription safety glasses
  • Clothing discounts and tool loan program

Key Responsibilities

• Build custom skids and crates to safely support large, irregular shipments
• Accurately measure materials and plan how loads are supported and secured
• Prepare shipments by packing, sealing, labeling, and documenting contents
• Verify shipment contents against shipping records
• 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

This Role Is Likely Not a Fit If You:

• Prefer scanning, picking, and packing small items

• Prefer repetitive, highly automated work
