Step onto the production floor and make things move

In this hands-on role, you keep our Paint Line and Bus Insulation Line running smoothly by moving materials, supporting skilled trades, and keeping work flowing from one operation to the next. You will work under close supervision while gaining experience across multiple fabrication and finishing steps.

A day in this role

At times, take on labor tasks such as painting, grinding, sanding, or general cleaning as directed by a supervisor or leadperson.

How you work

Operate safely by following company procedures, safety rules, and ISO requirements.
Lift and maneuver materials up to 50 lbs consistently.
Keep your area tidy; an end-of-shift clean-up is required.
Use computer software to control equipment and look up company information.
Collaborate in a small team or work independently with little direct supervision when tasks are assigned, while still working under close supervision overall.

What you bring

Basic command of English (written and verbal).
Ability to learn to read mechanical part and assembly drawings.
Comfort reading and using a linear tape measure.
Solid basic math, reading, and writing skills.

If you like tangible results at the end of every shift and want broad exposure to modern fabrication and finishing operations, this is where you can build your skills—one routed part at a time.
