About The Position

When a school goes on lockdown, an earthquake is about to hit, or a hospital calls a code — there's a good chance a Valcom system is doing the talking. For nearly 50 years, we've built the paging, intercom, and emergency communication systems that keep people informed and safe in the moments that count. Every one of those systems starts on a circuit board. And every circuit board starts with someone like you. We offer a four-day work week. Our core shift is Monday - Thursday, 4 pm to 2:30 am and there is plenty of overtime available on Friday. Your mornings are yours. Second shift means no alarm-clock scramble — run errands, hit appointments, or sleep in before your 4:00 pm start. As a plus, you'll also receive $1.00 per hour shift differential on top of your base wage. No experience? No problem. We'll train you. If you're mechanically inclined, detail-oriented, and dependable, we'll teach you the rest — including surface mount (SMT) and through-hole technology skills that are in demand across the electronics industry. We need employees willing to cross-train and learn new skills. Valcom has been part of the Roanoke Valley for almost five decades. We're big enough to matter and small enough that you're never just a number.
