Why Work Here?

You join a stable manufacturing operation that offers a strong starting pay rate, structured training, and clear opportunities to learn new skills in a hands-on environment. The team provides thorough onboarding and ongoing guidance so you can become confident in operating tools, handling materials, and working across different production areas. With potential overtime available, you can increase your earnings while building long-term experience in a clean, organized facility. The culture values reliability, teamwork, and continuous improvement, creating an environment where dedicated individuals can grow and take on more responsibility over time.

Work Environment

This role is based in a large, clean warehouse facility that is organized into manufacturing, shipping and receiving, assembly, and testing areas. You may work in any of these areas depending on production needs, handling large signs and parts that are in various stages of development or ready for shipment. The environment is not temperature controlled, so it tends to be cooler during the winter and hotter during the summer. The standard schedule runs Monday through Friday from 6:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m., with some days extending to 5:00 p.m., and Saturday work may be required toward the end of the year. You will spend most of the day on your feet, standing and walking on concrete floors while performing assembly and production tasks. The dress code is casual, allowing jeans and an appropriate T-shirt, combined with required safety gear. Safety glasses with side shields and hearing protection are provided, and steel-toed boots are required to ensure safe operation around tools, equipment, and materials.
