Build Something That Moves the World Forward

We're looking for a hands-on Machine Operator who takes pride in precision, quality, and getting the job done right. In this role, you'll be at the heart of our production floor-operating and fine-tuning equipment that brings high-quality seating components to life.

If you enjoy working with your hands, reading blueprints, and keeping machines running at peak performance, this is a great opportunity to grow your career in a stable, team-oriented manufacturing environment.

What You'll Do

Operate and monitor production machinery to manufacture seating and component parts with consistency and accuracy

Set up machines for production runs, including material prep, tooling adjustments, and calibration

Read and interpret blueprints and specifications to ensure parts are produced to precise standards

Perform routine adjustments and light troubleshooting to minimize downtime and keep production moving

Use a tape measure and other tools to verify dimensions and maintain tight tolerances

Work with punch presses and sheet metal equipment in a safe and efficient manner

Conduct in-process quality checks to ensure products meet company and customer expectations

Support general production and labor tasks to keep operations running smoothly

Identify opportunities to improve safety, quality, and efficiency on the floor

What You Bring

1+ year of machine operating experience in a manufacturing or production environment

Experience setting up machines and preparing equipment for production runs

Ability to read blueprints and production specs with confidence

Strong measurement skills (tape measure proficiency required)

Experience working with sheet metal and punch press equipment

Mechanical aptitude with the ability to troubleshoot minor issues

Strong attention to detail and commitment to quality

Reliable, safety-focused, and team-oriented mindset

What Makes You Stand Out

Experience in metal-based manufacturing

Comfortable working with multiple machines and tools

A proactive mindset-you don't just run machines, you improve them

Ability to adapt in a fast-paced production environment

Why You'll Love It Here

Health, dental, and vision insurance

Paid time off so you can recharge

A company that values your work and promotes long-term career growth

Work Environment

Fast-paced, hands-on manufacturing environment

Work with modern production equipment including punch presses and sheet metal machinery

Physical role requiring standing, lifting, and consistent movement throughout the shift
