• Operate production machinery safely and efficiently, following established operating procedures and guidelines.

• Perform basic assembly tasks related to tile production, packaging, and inspection.

• Clean production lines when they are not running, including sweeping, spraying lines down with a hose, and removing debris.

• Maintain a clean and organized work area despite the messy and wet conditions inherent to the role.

• Work around large industrial machines and equipment while following safety protocols and using required protective gear.

• Use logical thinking to solve practical problems and remain self-sufficient under general supervision.

• Demonstrate consistent, exceptional attendance, reliability, and performance to support production schedules.

• Perform constant repetitive movements, including twisting, bending, kneeling, and crouching throughout the shift.

• Regularly lift and move objects up to 50 pounds for the duration of the shift.

• Follow all safety requirements in dusty and high-heat areas, including wearing face masks or respirators when required.

• Collaborate with team members and adapt to different positions within the production area as needed.

• Adhere to company policies, including appropriate use of personal devices, such as listening to music with one earbud when permitted and safe.

Essential Skills

• Previous manufacturing or general production experience, particularly in environments with large industrial machines and equipment.

• Strong attention to detail, especially when counting and handling tile in repetitive production tasks.

• Demonstrated ability to perform constant repetitive motions, including twisting, bending, kneeling, and crouching.

• Ability to regularly lift and move up to 50 pounds throughout the shift.

• Comfort working in a very dirty, wet, and dusty industrial environment with hot conditions near kilns.

• Ability to solve practical problems using logic and to work self-sufficiently under general supervision.

• Proven track record of exceptional attendance, reliability, and performance in previous roles.

• Experience with production, general labor, assembly, packaging, and inspection tasks.

• Willingness to get dirty and handle messy tasks as part of daily responsibilities.

• Ability to follow safety protocols, including wearing face masks or respirators when required.

Additional Skills & Qualifications

Why Work Here?

You join a growing organization with a clear commitment to both business success and employee development. The company offers a structured career path with many opportunities to move from entry-level roles into operator and leadership positions, and some team members advance quickly based on aptitude and attention to detail. The organization aims for strong annual growth and offers stock option opportunities once you become a direct employee, allowing you to share in the company’s long-term success. A pay-for-performance bonus plan, key performance indicator-based incentives, and company-wide discretionary bonuses reward strong contributions. Comprehensive benefits include a 401(k) with a 4% match, paid time off, sick time, parental leave, and more. Employees receive approximately 14 days of PTO, a paid volunteer day, two paid 15-minute breaks per shift, and robust health benefits with the company covering a high percentage of health premiums and a significant portion of dental and vision premiums. Short- and long-term disability coverage and life insurance are provided, along with a family fund that grants financial support per family member. The company also offers wellness benefits and invests in personal and professional growth through collaborative group coaching, one-on-one career coaching, and tailored training programs designed to support long-term success.

Work Environment

The role is based in a ceramic and glass tile manufacturing facility housed in an older industrial building that may appear rough and intimidating from the outside. Inside, there is a large amount of big, dirty, dusty industrial equipment and many dark areas, reflecting a traditional heavy manufacturing environment. The job is very dirty, and you should expect to get dirt, glaze, and water on your clothes, especially when cleaning lines with hoses. The facility is very dusty in certain areas due to silica, and face masks are required where necessary; employees are test-fitted for respirators to ensure proper protection. Work takes place around kilns, so some areas can become very hot. The position involves constant repetitive movement, including twisting, bending, kneeling, and crouching, as well as regularly lifting and moving up to 50 pounds throughout the shift. The environment supports focused work, and in appropriate and safe situations, employees may be allowed to listen to music with one earbud. Overall, this is a physically demanding, hands-on production role in a high-heat, high-dust industrial setting that requires consistent use of personal protective equipment and adherence to safety protocols.
