Physical Requirements Step into the heart of our fast‑paced manufacturing plant, where every task drives progress. In this hands‑on role, you'll be on your feet—standing for extended periods, walking, and using your hands to operate tools and equipment with precision. Clear communication is key, so you'll be regularly required to talk and listen as part of a safety‑focused, team‑driven environment. You’ll also lift up to 35 pounds and perform physical movements like bending, squatting, reaching overhead, and occasionally crawling in tight spaces. Repetitive hand tasks and climbing ladders or working at heights are part of the role.

Competitive pay and full benefits package (medical, dental, vision, life)- your health matters
401(k) with company match — because your future matters
Tuition reimbursement and development to boost your career
Paid holidays and vacation time — we know balance is key
Exclusive discounts on footwear, eyewear, and safety gear- because we care about your safety
