Responsibilities

• Bend plastic PVC piping, typically ranging from approximately 7 to 9 inches in size, following established procedures and safety guidelines.
• Gradually increase bending workload over time to build strength and efficiency, moving from a mixed schedule of bending and packaging to primarily bending tasks.
• Perform packaging duties for PVC piping and related products, ensuring items are correctly packed and prepared for shipment.
• Trim excess plastic from PVC piping to meet quality standards and product specifications.
• Support general production and assembly activities as needed, including basic machine operation and general labor tasks.

• Maintain a clean and organized work area to support efficient production and safety.
• Follow all workplace safety rules and guidelines, including proper use of tools and equipment.
• Collaborate with team members and communicate clearly to ensure production goals and quality standards are met.

• Basic assembly skills in a manufacturing or similar environment.
• Capability to perform repetitive physical tasks such as bending and trimming.
• Attention to detail when trimming excess plastic and packaging products.
• Reliability and willingness to follow established processes and safety procedures.

Additional Skills & Qualifications

• Experience with packaging in a production or warehouse environment.
• Exposure to machine operation in a manufacturing setting.
• Forklift experience is a plus but not required.
• Previous work in general production, general labor, or assembly is beneficial.
• Willingness to learn new production processes and build physical endurance over time.

Why Work Here?

You join a hands-on, team-oriented production environment where you can quickly learn practical skills and see the results of your work every day. The role offers consistent hours, clear tasks, and the chance to grow your capabilities in general production, assembly, and material handling. You benefit from a straightforward, supportive setting that values reliability, safety, and steady development of your skills on the job.

Work Environment

This position is based in a non–temperature-controlled production facility, where conditions can vary with the seasons. You will spend most of your time on your feet, working around production equipment, PVC piping, and packaging materials.
