Door Tech is a locally owned manufacturer of aluminum storm and screen doors. We are looking for dependable, productive employees to assemble storm doors in our Lexington manufacturing plant.

This is a hands-on production position. Employees gather prepared door components, assemble aluminum storm doors using pneumatic and hand tools, inspect the finished product, and place completed doors on production carts.

The right person consistently arrives on time, works at a steady pace without constant supervision, follows instructions, and takes pride in producing quality work.

• $17.00 per hour: Employees qualified to independently build our more complex 650 full-view door slabs.

• Gather the correct aluminum door components and hardware from production carts.

• Ability to follow work orders and retain production instructions.
• Ability to read a tape measure accurately.
• Comfort using pneumatic, hand, and power tools.

• Willingness to learn, accept instruction, and respond appropriately to correction.
• Ability to stand and move throughout the shift.
• Ability to regularly lift and move doors weighing up to 50 pounds, with or without reasonable accommodation.
• Ability to understand and follow the work instructions and safety directions used in the plant.
• Previous manufacturing, assembly, furniture, cabinet, construction, window, or door experience is helpful but not required.
