Production Technician

Overview

We’re hiring Assembly Technicians for a large, established plastics manufacturing operation.

This is a hands-on production assembly role where manufactured components move through multiple assembly, finishing, inspection, and packaging processes before becoming completed products. Depending on the station, you may use hand and pneumatic tools, operate in-line production equipment, perform quality checks, handle materials, or prepare finished products for the next stage of production.

The work is physical and fast-paced, but there is significantly more variety than a traditional repetitive assembly position. Team members can learn multiple stations, work with different equipment and processes, and continue expanding their manufacturing skills over time.

What makes this role different:

• 50% of Your Days Off: Rotating 12-hour schedules + ability to choose either days or nights
• Direct Path to Advancement: Advanced production and lead roles are filled from the shop floor, creating opportunities for promotion
• Variety of Work: Learn multiple assembly stations, tools, equipment, quality processes, and production tasks as your skills develop

Compensation

• $17/hr – Day shift
• $18/hr – Night shift
• Built-in overtime through the rotating schedules
• Full-time, direct-hire – not a temp job
• Opportunities for advancement into more advanced production roles

Shift

Multiple openings are available on both days and nights:

• Day Shift: Rotating 2-2-3 schedule, 12-hour shifts
• Night Shift: Rotating 4-on / 4-off schedule, 12-hour shifts

Responsibilities

• Production Assembly: Assemble manufactured components according to established work instructions and production standards.
• Tools & Equipment: Use hand tools, pneumatic tools, and in-line assembly equipment to complete production tasks.
• Quality Checks: Inspect components and finished products for defects, accuracy, and overall quality.
• Finishing & Packaging: Complete finishing, labeling, wrapping, strapping, packaging, and related downstream production activities.
• Material Handling: Load, unload, move, and organize components and finished products throughout the assembly process.
• Process Monitoring: Identify quality, production, or equipment issues that could create downtime or scrap.
• Production Documentation: Complete required production and quality records accurately.
• Cross-Training: Learn and rotate across multiple assembly stations as production needs change and your skills develop.
