We are seeking a Production Laborer to work in our pallet repair facility, inspecting and repairing wooden pallets in a high-volume, fast-paced production environment. This role is physically demanding and ideal for someone who enjoys hands-on work, staying active all day, and being paid based on individual productivity.

Key responsibilities:

• Inspect incoming pallets for damage, missing boards, and structural defects.
• Sort pallets by condition and type (repairable, scrap, rework).
• Repair pallets using hammers, pry bars, nail guns, saws, and other hand and power tools.
• Replace broken or missing deck boards and stringers; pull and reset nails; reinforce weak points.
• Meet or exceed daily production targets for pallets repaired while maintaining quality standards.
• Stack, band, and stage finished pallets for loading or further processing.

• Regularly lift, carry, push, and pull wooden pallets weighing up to 50-75 lbs throughout the shift.
• Frequent bending, twisting, kneeling, reaching, and working with arms extended while using tools.
• Stand and walk on concrete floors for the entire shift, typically 8-10 hours per day.
• Exposure to wood dust, nails, splinters, loud noise, and changing warehouse temperatures.

This is a physically demanding job that requires sustained effort, stamina, and the ability to keep a strong, steady work pace for the full shift.
