You join a stable, growing manufacturing operation that invests in its people through comprehensive benefits and clear career paths. Full medical coverage through a major provider supports your health and peace of mind, while profit sharing and annual raises recognize and reward your contributions. The facility offers first-shift hours with evenings free for most roles, supporting a strong work-life balance, and provides a 10% shift premium for night work. You benefit from a direct-hire arrangement with weekly pay and the security of a business that is booked solid with orders through at least the end of 2026. This environment values growth, giving you the opportunity to build and lead a maintenance team and progress into higher leadership roles over time.

The role is based in a smaller CNC shop with approximately 30 employees working across two shifts, creating a close-knit, collaborative atmosphere. The facility is a non-climate-controlled industrial environment with typical shop conditions such as machine noise and active production lines. Core hours for the primary shift are 5:00 a.m. to 3:30 p.m., Monday through Friday, for a standard 50-hour workweek, with the position structured as salaried and additional hourly compensation for work beyond 50 hours. There is potential for overtime as needed, including occasional weekend work roughly once every few months to support operational needs. The workplace uses CNC machinery, automated lines, PLC-controlled systems, and 480V electrical equipment, requiring adherence to safety procedures and appropriate industrial attire suitable for a manufacturing shop. The organization follows a structured attendance and conduct policy with a point system that escalates from verbal warnings to written warnings and, ultimately, termination at higher point levels, promoting a consistent and accountable work culture.
