Work Environment

This role is based in a manufacturing facility that is well lit with skylights and kept organized for efficient workflow. The area you will work in is part of the newer section of the building and is considered a fairly nice production environment. The facility is not air conditioned, so temperatures can become hot in the summer, and the company provides items like Gatorade and frozen treats on hot days to help keep employees comfortable. Work is performed in assembly pods or cells made up of approximately 3–4 people, rather than on a traditional moving assembly line. You will rotate and cross-train in different pods, assembling specific machines as part of a close-knit, team-oriented group. The role is physically active and requires frequent lifting, bending, twisting, and moving equipment, as well as regular use of small air, hand, and electric tools and manual and electric pallet jacks.
