About The Position

This is a hands-on role for someone who already knows their way around a production floor. You'll build walk-in coolers and cold storage equipment from start to finish — reading blueprints on your own, working through problems as they come up, and keeping your work to a high standard without needing much oversight. You'll also help newer techs learn the ropes and pitch in on ideas to make the line run better. You'll work closely with the Production Supervisor and other teams to keep production on track. You will interact with co-workers and supervisors in a culture of accountability that values velocity, transparency, and the free exchange of information and ideas.
