Why Work Here? Employees have access to on-site amenities such as showers, lockers, and a computer room, supporting comfort and convenience before and after shifts.

Direct employees receive pay increases by shift and enjoy quarterly company-provided meals when the team remains accident free, reflecting a strong focus on safety, recognition, and long-term employee development.

Work EnvironmentThe work takes place in a very clean manufacturing facility that is not climate controlled, so it can be warm in the summer. You will work with fiberglass materials, which may be sensitive for some individuals, and the company provides PPE to cover arms and neck to help avoid irritation. Gloves, earplugs, and safety glasses are supplied and required to maintain safety standards. Most items handled are extremely light, and lifting up to 50 pounds is extremely rare, especially early on.

Work is performed on defined shifts: 1st Shift runs 5:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m., Monday through Thursday, with overtime until 3:00 p.m as needed; 2nd Shift runs 2:50 p.m. to 12:50 a.m., Monday through Thursday, with overtime on Friday; and 3rd Shift runs 9:00 p.m. to 7:00 a.m., Monday through Thursday.
