• Assemble both large and small components, including sub-assemblies, in accordance with blueprints, drawings, and written instructions.
• Install wiring, components, and fittings on assembly units to complete fuel cell assemblies.
• Use basic measuring tools such as micrometers, calipers, and gauges to perform quick quality checks and verify product specifications.
• Follow all safety guidelines, including the use of required personal protective equipment and adherence to facility rules.
• Participate in cross-training across different areas of the facility to support multiple production functions.
• Maintain a clean and organized work area within the production environment.
• Engage in performance discussions and reviews at 30, 60, and 90 days to align on attendance, performance, and quality expectations.

• Openness to structured feedback through regular performance reviews and defined metrics.
• Interest in long-term growth and advancement through level-based roles (Level I, II, III).

Why Work Here?

You will join a secure, modern facility that offers clear opportunities for growth and internal promotion, supported by a well-defined training program and structured performance feedback. The environment emphasizes long-term development, with level-based progression and the potential for increased responsibility over time. You will work in a climate-controlled setting with updated equipment and a professional atmosphere, benefiting from paid breaks and lunches when you remain onsite. The organization values tenure, invests in employee development, and provides transparent expectations through clearly defined metrics and regular reviews.

Work Environment

The facility is clean, well lit, and fully climate controlled, providing a comfortable work setting year-round. The production area features epoxy floors wall to wall and an automated, updated manufacturing environment. The site is secure and gated, with a modern corporate office and well-maintained building.

Most training occurs on first shift, with flexibility to train on second shift if needed. Regular schedules run Monday through Friday on straight 8-hour shifts, with second shift from 3:30 p.m. to 11:30 p.m. and third shift from 11:30 p.m. to 7:30 a.m. Overtime opportunities are available.
