You will accurately fit parts together to create sashes and frames, install hardware, and inspect each window during assembly to identify and remove defective components before packaging. You will also be cross-trained in additional shop roles, so a willingness to learn and adapt is essential.

Responsibilities

• Manufacture all required parts used to build complete window units.
• Assemble window components, including sashes and frames, ensuring correct fit and alignment.
• Install hardware in the proper position and securely attach it to window parts.
• Use hand tools, power tools, and tape measures to complete assembly tasks accurately.
• Inspect windows during assembly to detect defects, remove faulty parts, and ensure proper functionality before packaging.
• Follow production and assembly line processes to meet quality and efficiency standards.
• Measure and verify components to confirm they meet specifications and tolerances.
• Perform general labor tasks related to production, assembly, and material handling as needed.
• Operate basic machinery or equipment associated with the assembly process, as trained.
• Read and follow simple blueprints or work instructions when required.
• Support construction- or remodeling-type tasks related to product assembly and installation where applicable.
• Maintain a clean and organized work area and comply with all safety procedures and use of PPE.
• Adapt to different tasks within the shop and participate in cross-training for other production roles.

• Assembly skills with the ability to correctly fit and secure parts.
• Measurement skills, including accurate use of a tape measure.
• Installation skills for hardware and related components.
• Mechanical aptitude and comfort working with tools and machinery.
• Ability to use hand tools and power tools safely and effectively.
• Experience working in production, assembly, construction, or manufacturing (6+ months required).
• Ability to stand on your feet for long periods and perform physically active work.
• Strong attention to detail to identify defects and ensure product quality.
• Adaptability and willingness to be cross-trained in multiple roles.
• Reliable work habits and ability to follow instructions and established processes.

• Previous assembly experience in a manufacturing environment is preferred.
• Background in general labor, mechanical assembly, construction, or remodeling is beneficial.
• Experience working on an assembly line or in a production facility.
• Ability to read and interpret basic blueprints or work instructions.
• No formal certifications required.

You will join a stable, growing manufacturer that offers a consistent four-day production schedule with the opportunity for overtime on Fridays during busy seasons. The organization provides a complete benefits package along with bi-annual sales bonuses and an annual profit bonus, which have together averaged the equivalent of a significant hourly increase over the last two years. You will work in an environment that values talent development and internal advancement, with structured opportunities to grow your skills and progress within the company. The employer supports continuous improvement through training seminars that encourage both personal and career development and provide opportunities to network with others. The company is actively engaged in the local community, supports local organizations, and collaborates with the city on responsible growth, reflecting a culture that values contribution and long-term partnerships.

This is a fully on-site role at a manufacturing facility in Iowa. The standard schedule is Monday through Thursday, 6:00 AM to 4:30 PM, with a 30-minute lunch break, and there is potential to work Fridays depending on production demand. You will be on your feet all day in a large building that is not climate-controlled, so temperatures can be very hot or very cold depending on the season. The environment is production-focused, involving assembly lines, hand tools, power tools, and basic machinery used for manufacturing window units. The dress code requires jeans, a work-appropriate shirt, and closed-toed shoes; shorts are not allowed, and steel-toed footwear is not required for window assembly.
