Willing to learn riveting, countersinking, and blueprint reading

Detail-oriented and able to follow instructions accurately

Reliable, positive, and motivated to grow a long-term career

Able to work in a fast-paced, hands-on environment

Preferred but Not Required

Mechanical, assembly, or sheet-metal experience

Experience reading blueprints or using precision measuring tools

Shift Details

Day Shift: 6:30am-3:00pm (overtime typically offered early before shift start)

Swing Shift: 2:30pm-11:00pm

Swing Shift Differential: +$1/hr (so $22 becomes $23/hr, and experienced candidates land at $24-$25/hr)

Overtime: Offered based on production needs after the first two weeks of training; not guaranteed

Pay & Advancement

Standard starting pay: $22/hr

Higher starting pay available for candidates with strong mechanical or assembly experience

Company is open to reviewing higher compensation for top-tier candidates

$1 raise upon going direct
