You can build a long-term career in a setting that recognizes and rewards commitment, flexibility, and initiative.

Work Environment

The role is based in a warehouse and production facility that operates in a fast-paced, safety-focused environment. The day shift for foam encasement production typically runs from 5:00 a.m. to 1:30 p.m., with the expectation that you stay until the job is completed, and start times may be earlier depending on business needs. The shipping position generally runs from 6:00 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. The warehouse can feel a bit chilly due to multiple bay doors bringing in outside air, so appropriate attire for cooler conditions is recommended.
