MACHINE OPERATOR – 2ND SHIFT

Monday–Thursday | 3:15 PM–1:45 AM
4-Day Workweek • Full-Time • Benefits • Bonus Opportunities

We are looking for dependable, hands-on people to join our manufacturing team as Machine Operators . If you like staying busy, learning how equipment works, and being able to see what you accomplished at the end of your shift, this could be a great fit.

Best of all — our regular 2nd-shift schedule is Monday through Thursday. That means a 3-day weekend every week!

We want our employees to have more than just a paycheck. Our team members have access to:

• 4-day workweek – Monday through Thursday (occasional Friday OT)

• Medical and other benefit options

• 401(k) with company match

• Quarterly bonus opportunities

• Monthly employee lunches

• Paid time off

• Consistent full-time schedule

• Opportunities to learn multiple machines and manufacturing processes

• Overtime opportunities when available

• A smaller manufacturing environment where your work actually matters

As a Machine Operator, you'll learn to set up, operate, and monitor manufacturing equipment used in our production process. Depending on your assigned area, your responsibilities may include:

• Setting up and operating production machinery, including stranding equipment

• Loading and changing reels/spools of material

• Monitoring equipment throughout production runs

• Performing quality checks to make sure finished material meets specifications

• Completing required production paperwork

• Identifying and reporting equipment or quality concerns

• Using a forklift and material-handling equipment

• Keeping your work area clean, organized, and safe

• Working with your team to meet daily production goals

• Learning additional equipment and processes as you gain experience

We're looking for someone who:

• Shows up consistently and on time

• Is willing to learn and take direction

• Pays attention to quality and detail

• Can work safely around manufacturing equipment

• Is comfortable working on their feet throughout the shift

• Can regularly lift and handle materials weighing up to 50 lbs.

• Works well independently and as part of a team

• Takes pride in doing the job correctly

Manufacturing or machine-operation experience is required, but reliability, work ethic, and willingness to learn are just as important to us.

2nd Shift: Monday–Thursday, 3:15 PM–1:45 AM

Some Friday overtime may be available or required depending on production needs.

If you're looking for steady full-time work, benefits, bonus opportunities, and a schedule that gives you more of your week back, we'd like to hear from you.
