• Assist with cleanups and housekeeping to maintain a safe, organized, and efficient work area.

Why Work Here?

Employees benefit from comprehensive medical, dental, and vision insurance, with competitive options for individual coverage. The company offers a 401(k) plan with a 5% company match, supporting long-term financial security. Team members can earn bonus incentives throughout the year tied to safety and production performance, as well as a holiday bonus that has previously been included in payroll and complemented by catered lunches. Leadership maintains an all-hands-on approach, working alongside employees on the floor and fostering a supportive, collaborative culture across a large, nationwide organization.

Work Environment

The facility manufactures bricks and paver stones for construction and operates as an industrial production plant. It is not temperature controlled, so employees should expect to work in hot or cold conditions depending on the season. The environment can be dusty due to the materials handled. Production operations run across four shifts with around 50 people in the production team, creating a busy, collaborative setting. Work may take place both indoors and outdoors, and employees will use manufacturing machinery, palletizing equipment, and forklifts or single lifts. Appropriate industrial work attire and personal protective equipment are required to ensure safety in this heavy manufacturing environment.
