If you’re ready to launch your career and build hands-on production skills, apply today. On Shift

You’ll clock in for the afternoon shift, review the production plan, and get set up with PPE before the line starts. Early on, you’ll confirm the run is dialed in—then stay in a steady rhythm of checks, quick adjustments, and documentation as product moves through. When a changeover comes up, you’ll reset the line, organize materials for the next SKU, and verify everything is ready before restarting. Throughout the evening you’ll stay in close communication with teammates and leads, asking questions and learning the “why” behind specs and quality checks. You’ll wrap up by tidying your area, completing final records, and handing off a clear status update for what’s next shift.
