• Ability to work mandatory overtime as required by production schedules.
• Capability to perform repetitive tasks while maintaining attention to detail and product quality.

Benefits start on day one of employment, supporting your well-being from the moment you begin. The environment values reliability, safety, and quality, and rewards those who demonstrate strong work ethic, consistency, and a desire to grow into higher-level roles over time.

Work Environment

This is a high-volume manufacturing line environment, focused on producing foam parts. The role is on 3rd shift. Initially, the schedule is four 12-hour shifts from approximately 6:45 p.m. to 7:15 a.m., Monday night through Friday night, with each employee working four of those five nights and having weekends off. Within the next several weeks, the schedule will transition to 8-hour 3rd shift hours, approximately 10:45 p.m. to 7:15 a.m., Tuesday through Saturday. The production area is cool, around 65 degrees, and includes conveyor lines, curing equipment, small hand tools, scales, and workstations with both standing and some seated positions. However, you should be prepared to stand for the full shift outside of breaks if needed.
