The workplace values safety, training, and development, providing a supportive environment where employees can build long-term careers in manufacturing.
Work EnvironmentThe role is based in a loud, industrial manufacturing facility that produces packaging solutions and works extensively with wood materials.

The position follows a bi-weekly rotating shift schedule: day shifts run from 6:30 a.m. to 3:00 p.m., and afternoon shifts run from 3:30 p.m. to 12:00 a.m. Overtime may be required, typically either 1.5 hours at the start of a shift or 2 hours at the end.
Employees work around equipment such as panel saws, 3-axis CNC machines, presses, robotic arms, and flexographic machines, and may use hand and power tools as part of their duties. Due to shift times and local transit options, driving or having reliable transportation is strongly recommended.
