Competitive hourly compensation is complemented by a night-shift premium for eligible roles. Health benefits, including medical, dental, and vision coverage, begin on the first day of permanent employment, helping prevent gaps in coverage. Company-paid short-term disability, long-term disability, and life insurance provide additional financial protection at no cost to employees. Technicians receive a thorough, approximately 90-day onboarding and training period on day shift, ensuring they are well prepared before moving to their permanent schedule.

Work Environment

Work is performed in an active manufacturing facility that includes a warehouse and machine hall, which are not temperature controlled. Indoor conditions generally reflect the outside temperature, and the environment can become hot and humid during the summer months. Technicians must be comfortable performing physical maintenance work in these conditions and working around active production machinery. The role involves regular exposure to electrical, mechanical, pneumatic, hydraulic, and steam-powered equipment, and employees are expected to comply with all applicable safety requirements, equipment procedures, and facility policies. The property is entirely nonsmoking and tobacco-free, with no designated smoking areas; employees must be able to complete their full shift without smoking or using tobacco products while on company grounds. Jewelry cannot be worn during the shift, and employees must remove items such as wedding rings, watches, necklaces, bracelets, and other personal jewelry; medical devices are the only exception. Technicians work cooperatively with production personnel, other maintenance employees, and contract labor while responding to urgent equipment issues and working under production pressure. The role follows a structured schedule: all technicians complete an initial training period on day shift, Monday through Friday from 6:45 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. After training, permanent day-shift employees work 12-hour shifts on a 2-2-3 rotating schedule from 6:45 a.m. to 7:00 p.m., and permanent night-shift employees work 12-hour shifts on a 2-2-3 rotating schedule from 6:45 p.m. to 7:00 a.m., with an additional shift differential for night work.
