Full Job Description

Shape the flow of power and data with LAPP

Since 1959, LAPP has grown from a family startup in Stuttgart to a global leader in cable and connection technology. We remain fully family-owned, with about 5,800 colleagues across more than 80 countries. Here, a maker mindset meets long-held values: room to explore ideas, flexibility with responsibility, and a culture that values every perspective.

A day in the life

You arrive for your shift, review the job packet and customer specifications, and prep your extrusion or machining line. You dial in tooling, verify measurements with micrometers and calipers, and run first-article checks. As production ramps, you monitor throughput, adjust parameters to maintain quality, and keep the area organized and safe. When it’s time for a changeover, you tear down, set up for the next run, and help a teammate troubleshoot a machine—because great output is a team sport.

Shifts

First: 6:00 AM – 2:00 PM
Second: 2:00 PM – 10:00 PM (shift differential)
Third: 10:00 PM – 6:00 AM (shift differential)

What you’ll do

Operate assigned extrusion and machining equipment to meet or exceed production targets.
Hold safety and quality as non-negotiables; follow QC checks and document results.
Own your machines and tools—perform setups, changeovers, basic maintenance, and end-of-run teardown.
Troubleshoot process issues and make on-the-fly adjustments to sustain output and quality.
Verify customer requirements and job instructions before and during production.
Keep a clean, organized, and safe work area; contribute to a collaborative, helpful team environment.
Must be 18+ years old.

Education

High school diploma required; solid math and basic computer skills are essential.

Experience

1–3 years as a machine operator (e.g., CNC, machinist, extruder) required.
Background in process-centric manufacturing for finished goods and/or wire & cable preferred.
Comfort reading spec sheets and job travelers.
Hands-on proficiency with micrometers and calipers is required.

Physical demands

Work may occur in tight or confined areas; safety focus and precision are critical.
Standing up to 80% of the shift is typical.
Occasional sitting; climbing/balancing; and stooping, kneeling, crouching, or crawling.
Ability to maneuver, move, push, and lift up to 80 lbs.

Language skills

Read and interpret safety rules, operating/maintenance instructions, and procedures; write routine reports and correspondence; speak effectively to groups. Proficiency in English, written and verbal.

Compensation & benefits

$25.00 per hour (paid weekly) plus participation in LAPP’s bonus plan. Comprehensive benefits: Medical, Vision, Dental, Paid Time Off, Paid Holidays, 401(k), HSA/FSA, Life Insurance, and more.

Tools & technologies

Primary: Extrusion machine
Core skills: Manual machining, plastic extrusion, and prior manufacturing experience
