• Schedule & Physical Requirements: Ability to work overtime, weekends, and holidays as needed, lift up to 35 lbs., and perform the physical activities required in a manufacturing environment.

• Additional Support: Step in where needed to support the team, respond to changing operational needs, and contribute to the overall success of the facility.

From lifting up to 35 pounds to bending, squatting, reaching high, or crawling into tight spots, no two days are the same. Repetitive handwork keeps you sharp, and climbing ladders or working at heights is part of the role.
