Job Description

Job Description

Day in the life

At 7:00 AM in Elmhurst, IL, you step onto the production floor and help get a molding cell ready for the day. You stage materials, assist with setup and tool changes, and load raw stock so the first run kicks off smoothly. As parts emerge from molds, you safely unload them, perform quick visual and dimensional checks with hand tools, and complete finishing tasks like threading, trimming, wet sanding, and cleaning. You record production and quality data as you go, keep your cell tidy and safe, then package, palletize, wrap, and strap finished product so shipping can move fast. By 4:30 PM, you’ve kept work flowing—and every other Friday, you’re already off.
