Why Work Here?

You will join a newer, fast-growing organization that is actively building a winning culture and is projected to double in size within the next year or more. The company emphasizes promoting from within, providing clear opportunities for career growth and advancement for those who perform well and show initiative. You will work in a supportive, team-based environment where a positive attitude and collaboration are valued, and where leadership invests in training and development. The contract-to-hire structure offers a clear pathway to long-term employment, while the stable first-shift schedule supports work-life balance.

Work Environment

This is a first-shift production role in a medical device manufacturing environment. Standard hours are 6:00 AM to 2:30 PM, with an adjusted start time of 8:00 AM during the first couple of weeks for training. The production team typically consists of about 5–10 people, creating a close-knit, collaborative atmosphere. While the schedule is primarily weekday-based, there is a requirement for all assemblers and leads to be available on the last business day of each month to stay later—potentially until 6:00–7:00 PM—when month-end production demands require it. These extended hours are not always necessary, especially when monthly goals are met early. Weekend work may occur on a very limited, case-by-case basis. The environment involves regular use of hand tools, power tools, and production equipment, with a focus on safety, cleanliness, and organization. A great attitude, teamwork, and professionalism are essential, as you will be working closely with others in a structured, goal-driven manufacturing setting.
