Essential Skills

1–2 years of experience in a manufacturing, production, or material handling environment.
Experience in general labor and production support within a manufacturing or assembly line setting.
Mechanical aptitude with the ability to learn machine operation, process flow, and basic troubleshooting.
Strong verbal and written communication skills for documenting production, quality, and safety information accurately.
Willingness and ability to learn forklift operation if not already experienced.
Capability to work in a union environment and adhere to union-related guidelines on shifts and job bidding.
Ability to work all three shifts (7–3, 3–11, 11–7) and to handle long workdays and overtime as needed.
Physical ability to frequently lift 15–50 lbs and occasionally up to 100 lbs with assistance, step over obstacles, work on and around machinery, and bend, push, and pull objects in excess of 15 lbs.
Comfort working around grease, oil, and hydraulic fluids, and participating in cleanup activities related to metal manufacturing processes.

Additional Skills & Qualifications

Prior machine operating experience in a manufacturing or heavy industrial environment is encouraged.
Experience in production, assembly, and material handling roles such as forklift operation, packaging, and general production work.
Familiarity with manufacturing processes, extrusion, tube mill operations, or metals manufacturing is beneficial.
Experience performing visual inspection and quality checks on manufactured products.
Ability to understand and follow standard operating procedures (SOPs) and quality requirements.
