Work Environment

The position operates primarily on a first shift schedule, Monday through Friday from 5:00 a.m. to 1:30 p.m., with overtime consisting of working a full shift on Saturdays as needed. You will work within a small department of two people, providing a close-knit, collaborative environment. The facility includes three distinct buildings: a foundry, a machining department, and a paint/polishing area. The machining department is climate controlled, providing a more temperature-stable environment, while the foundry is not climate controlled and remains hot throughout the year; however, foundry operations run only in the early mornings to help manage heat exposure.
