• Stack and palletize finished tiles, ensuring pallets are stable, properly labeled, and ready for shipment.
• Handle tiles that typically weigh around 2 pounds each, with occasional heavier tiles that require careful lifting or team lifting.
• Use material handling equipment, including forklifts when qualified, to move materials and finished products within the facility.
• Support general production tasks such as assembly, finishing, and packing as needed.
• Follow all safety procedures, including proper use of personal protective equipment and safe lifting techniques.
• Maintain a clean and organized work area to support a safe and efficient production environment.
• Collaborate with team members and supervisors to ensure production goals and quality standards are consistently met.

Why Work Here?

You join a clean, well-organized production facility that invests in your growth and recognizes your contributions. The company offers clear opportunities for advancement within production areas once you transition to a direct role, along with structured pay increases by shift. You benefit from practical amenities such as showers, lockers, and a computer room, creating a comfortable and supportive workplace. Safety and teamwork are valued, and employees are rewarded with company-provided meals each quarter they remain accident-free, reinforcing a culture of recognition and continuous improvement.

Work Environment

You work in a very clean production facility that is not climate controlled, so it can be warm during the summer months. The role involves working with fiberglass, which may cause sensitivity for some individuals; to address this, the company provides personal protective equipment, including coverage for arms and neck to help avoid irritation. Gloves, earplugs, and safety glasses are supplied and expected to be used as part of standard safety practices. Most items handled are very light, and while the ability to lift up to 50 pounds is required, lifts at the upper range are rare and heavier items are handled as team lifts. The schedule includes multiple shifts: 1st shift runs from 5:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. Monday through Thursday, with overtime extending to 3:00 p.m.; 2nd shift runs from 2:50 p.m. to 12:50 a.m. Monday through Thursday, with overtime on Friday; and 3rd shift runs from 9:00 p.m. to 7:00 a.m. Monday through Friday. The environment emphasizes safety, consistent use of PPE, and efficient production processes.
