• Work with epoxy and sealant materials, applying sealant to fasteners as part of the production process.
• Use hand tools to loosen, adjust, and secure machine components during set-ups and routine tasks.
• Hand-feed parts into machines and place finished or processed parts into boxes for packaging and shipment.
• Sort, count, and package parts in a repetitive workflow while maintaining focus and consistency.
• Lift and move items weighing up to 40 pounds throughout the shift as needed.
• Remain standing at a workstation for extended periods to support continuous production activities.
• Cross-train in other departments and assist wherever needed in a small, collaborative team environment.

Essential Skills

• At least 1 year of machine operator experience in an industrial or manufacturing setting.
• Ability to lift up to 40 pounds safely and repeatedly during the workday.
• Experience using hand tools to set up machines and perform changeovers.
• Comfort working in an industrial manufacturing environment with multiple loud machines running simultaneously.
• Willingness to work some Saturdays from approximately 6:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. when needed.
• Flexibility to start the shift at 5:00 a.m. when production requirements call for an earlier start.
• Attention to detail for quality inspection of small parts and fasteners.
• Basic mechanical aptitude for operating, adjusting, and supporting production machinery.
• Reliability and consistency in following established processes and safety procedures.

• Comfort working with adhesives, sealants, and epoxy in a production setting.
• Ability to adapt to repetitive tasks while maintaining accuracy and focus.
• Steel toe boots required as part of standard industrial safety attire.

Why Work Here?

Employees join a close-knit, family-oriented organization where long tenure is common and people feel genuinely valued. The company emphasizes work-life balance by keeping overtime optional and rarely mandated, while still offering the chance to work Saturdays for those who want extra hours. Team members enjoy a friendly culture with cookouts, pizza parties, birthday celebrations, and seasonal outings that create a strong sense of belonging. Benefits include 11 paid holidays, two weeks of paid vacation awarded on the anniversary date, and highly competitive insurance that is intentionally kept affordable. Leadership shows appreciation through gas gift cards, holiday bonuses, and additional bonuses issued twice a year, along with cross-training opportunities that allow employees to learn new skills and expand their capabilities.

Work Environment

The role is based in a small manufacturing facility with approximately 15 employees, where individuals often wear many hats and help wherever needed. You will work on specialized machinery used to coat and process fasteners, in an environment that can be very loud when multiple machines are running and where the smell of adhesive and epoxy may be strong. Headphones are allowed, but you must remain at your station and stay attentive to your machine. The workspace is not temperature controlled, so conditions can be hot in the summer; cold drinks such as water and sports beverages are provided during hotter periods to support comfort. The position involves standing for most of the shift, performing repetitive tasks at a fixed workstation, and occasionally working at a seated station for certain machine operations. Standard industrial safety attire, including steel toe boots, is required.
