- Type: Temp-to-hire, with strong performers converting to permanent employment.
- Location: Durham, North Carolina
- Start: Immediate openings on both shifts
- Pay: Weekly direct deposit from day one

Required:
- High school diploma or GED
- Minimum 6 months of experience in a production or manufacturing environment
- Basic math skills including fractions, inches, and degrees (used daily for machine setup and calibration)
