You will join a stable, family-owned organization with a strong backlog of work and a commitment to job security, where layoffs are rare.

You can expect consistent hours with opportunities for overtime, providing both stability and the potential to increase your earnings, all within a workplace that values loyalty, reliability, and long-term relationships.

Work Environment

This position operates on a first-shift schedule, Monday through Friday, from 6:00 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. You may be asked to stay late during the week and occasionally work up to 4 hours on a Saturday, with no work on Sundays, and can typically expect 5 to 10 hours of overtime per week. The facility is clean and equipped with fans, but it is not fully climate controlled, so temperatures may vary with the seasons. You will work in a warehouse and production environment that uses carts, pallet jacks, and computer systems, and you should be prepared for regular physical activity, including walking, lifting, and moving materials throughout your shift.
