Delivery Driver & Shop Assistant

Laborup•Greenback, TN

24d•$18 - $22

About The Position

We are looking for a highly versatile and self-directed Delivery Driver & Shop Assistant to be the ultimate "floater" for our facility. We are a specialized machine builder creating complex automation equipment for the industrial manufacturing sector. The biggest selling point of this role is the variety: no two days are the same. In a single shift, you might drive our flatbed truck to deliver a completed machine to a customer, return to the shop to perform preventative maintenance on our CNC machines, and finish the day helping the purchasing department organize the stockroom. We are looking for an independent, highly reliable self-starter who can manage their own day, follow documented instructions, and represent the company professionally while on the road. This is an excellent opportunity to gain hands-on exposure to multiple sides of a dynamic manufacturing business.
