Responsibilities

• Operate press machines to print dog-collar tags according to established procedures and quality standards.
• Rotate through multiple workstations on the production floor as part of the manufacturing process.
• Read and inspect printed tags with a strong attention to detail to verify accuracy, legibility, and overall quality.
• Load and unload 50–100 lb metal coils into the machines several times per day, ensuring proper setup and safe operation.
• Use tape measures, hand tools, and other equipment to support machine setup, calibration, and basic adjustments.
• Perform general warehouse duties when production is light, including moving boxes and organizing materials.
• Maintain cleanliness of the shop area by sweeping floors and keeping workstations free of debris.
• Assist with outdoor upkeep such as sweeping the parking lot when needed.
• Follow all safety guidelines and best practices while operating machinery and handling heavy materials.
• Monitor machine performance and report any issues or irregularities to the appropriate personnel.

Essential Skills

• At least 1 month of machine operating experience in a production or manufacturing environment.
• At least 6 months of production experience in a warehouse, manufacturing, or similar setting.
• Ability to lift and safely handle up to 50 lbs multiple times per day.
• Ability to stand and remain on your feet for up to 8 hours per day.

Why Work Here?

Employees benefit from a comprehensive package that supports health, financial well-being, and work-life balance, including health insurance, dental and vision coverage, a health savings account, and a 401(k) plan. Paid time off allows for rest and personal time, while employee discounts add extra value. The standard 8-hour shift structure provides predictable scheduling, helping you maintain stability both at work and at home.

Work Environment

The role is based indoors in a climate-controlled facility, providing a comfortable and consistent working environment. All primary work areas are climate controlled, and no work is performed on the non-climate-controlled third floor. The schedule follows a first shift, running from 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., Monday through Friday, with an 8-hour workday spent primarily on your feet. You work in a production and warehouse setting with press machines, metal coils, tape measures, and hand tools. The dress code is casual and practical, typically jeans, tennis shoes, and short-sleeve shirts, suitable for both machine operation and general warehouse duties.
