About The Position

Crystal Finishing is home to 950+ team members and over $150 million in annual sales, built on craftsmanship, reliability, and pride in a job well done. From aluminum extrusion to fabrication and finishing, we deliver high‑quality products that shape industries across the country. Our Die Shop is a tight‑knit crew - people who enjoy hunting, fishing, tinkering on cars, and swapping stories over beef jerky. If you like working with your hands, solving mechanical puzzles, and being part of a team that genuinely enjoys what they do, you’ll fit right in. This isn’t a job where you stand in one spot all day. As a Die Runner, you’ll move between different tasks, learn new skills, and play a key role in keeping production running smoothly. You’ll work with dies - the molds that shape aluminum into everything from window frames to custom profiles - and you’ll get to see the full process from assembly to breakdown. If you like variety, mechanical work, and a fast‑paced environment, this is a great place to grow. Join a team where your mechanical skills, curiosity, and work ethic can take you far. In the Die Shop, you’ll learn, grow, and contribute to products that make an impact—while working alongside people who take pride in what they do. If you’re ready for a hands‑on role with variety, teamwork, and room to grow, we’d love to meet you.
