About The Position

We are seeking reliable, hands-on team members to join our production operations, with full cross-training across specialized areas in build preparation, rubber building and curing, and precision finishing—ideal for those who enjoy mechanical challenges, puzzles, and building things with their hands.

Requirements

  • Ability to regularly lift up to 50 lbs, stand/walk for extended periods, use knives and power tools (e.g., angle grinders), and work with precision measuring devices in an industrial manufacturing environment.

Nice To Haves

  • Prior military experience or hobbies involving cars, machinery, or detailed hands-on projects are strong indicators of success and highly valued.

Responsibilities

  • Cross-train and rotate across three specialized production areas—Build Prep (stripping rubber from cores, media blasting, cementing), Build Area (accurate weighing and mixing of rubber compounds on mills, extruding or hand-building, wrapping, autoclave curing), and Finishing (lathe setup with dial indicator verification, grinding, grooving, polishing, inspection, and packaging)—to support team flexibility and personal skill development.
  • Match shop orders to parts, read and follow detailed instructions and prints, take precise measurements using diameter tapes and dial indicators, and safely operate/maintain equipment including manual engine lathes, media blast cabinets/rooms, rubber mills, extruders, autoclaves, belt sanders, grinders, bandsaws, overhead cranes, and forklifts.
  • Make safety the #1 priority through proper PPE and equipment operation; deliver quality by ensuring every customer part is clean, protected, and within all tolerances; and meet or exceed delivery targets by following production schedules and expedited priorities to complete jobs on or before due dates.
  • Perform essential daily housekeeping and equipment care: clean lathe ways, check/change compressor and dust filters, empty blast dust barrels and condensate pails, reclaim blast media, organize tools/cores, and maintain a clean, organized workspace to extend equipment life, prevent breakdowns, and eliminate hazards.
  • Collaborate with maintenance, quality control, and logistics teams; clearly communicate priorities, progress, and concerns; monitor production for bottlenecks or deviations and implement corrective actions; and actively support continuous improvement initiatives for efficiency gains, waste reduction, and cost savings.
  • Demonstrate unwavering punctuality and attendance; bring grit, reliability, and enthusiasm for hands-on mechanical work, problem-solving puzzles, and cross-training; prior military experience or hobbies involving cars, machinery, or detailed hands-on projects are strong indicators of success and highly valued.
  • Complete an in-person aptitude assessment (practical math calculations—no calculators allowed—and situational judgment scenarios) during screening; we will provide advance notice so you know what to expect and can show your problem-solving approach.
