Work Environment

The role is based in a large, approximately 600,000-square-foot facility in Pasadena, TX. This is a new, very clean, and organized production facility that operates as one of several sites, including weld, machine, and powder coating shops at other locations. The primary teams in this building include general assemblers, electrical assemblers, warehouse staff, and shop personnel supporting production of custom-engineered electrical gear. The environment is non–climate controlled with open bay doors and numerous fans, so temperatures can be high, especially in warmer seasons. The production shop is very busy and fast-paced, requiring consistent focus and physical stamina. You will use a variety of hand tools and power tools daily, as well as work around industrial equipment and materials. The standard day shift runs Monday through Friday from 6:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., typically totaling 11-hour days, 5–6 days per week. A night shift (Monday through Friday, 6:00 p.m. to 6:00 a.m.) may also be available, with similar hours and workload. The dress code requires steel-toe footwear, jeans, a work shirt, and safety glasses, along with any additional personal protective equipment required for specific tasks.
