Precision Profiles and Manufacturing | Full-Time | Monday-Friday | 7:30 AM-4:00 PM
Know Your Way Around Manufacturing Equipment? We Want to Talk to You!
We're looking for an experienced Machine Operator who's ready to take the next step in their career.
This isn't a desk job. We're looking for someone who enjoys working with their hands, knows how to operate and troubleshoot equipment, and can help keep a busy production floor running smoothly.
You'll work alongside our production team, operate machinery, help coordinate daily production, and make sure we're getting quality products out the door.
You don't need to have "Lead" or "Supervisor" in your current job title. If you're a dependable, experienced machine operator who takes pride in their work and naturally helps others get the job done, we'd like to hear from you.
What You'll Be Doing
- Operate manufacturing equipment and assist with daily production.
- Set up machines, perform changeovers, and troubleshoot basic equipment issues.
- Help keep production moving and jobs on schedule.
- Work alongside the team and provide guidance when needed.
- Inspect finished products to ensure quality standards are met.
- Track production, measurements, and other basic information.
- Maintain a clean, organized, and safe work environment.
- Identify ways to improve efficiency and reduce production delays.
Why You Should Apply
- Day shift: Monday-Friday, 7:30 AM-4:00 PM.
- Full-time, consistent schedule.
- Hands-on position: Stay involved in the work, not stuck behind a desk.
- Opportunity to grow: Put your experience to work and take on more responsibility.
- Team environment: Work with people who value reliability, quality, and getting the job done right.
We're looking for someone who wants to be part of a team and make a difference in how our production floor operates.
Requirements
What We're Looking For
- At least 2 years of hands-on experience in manufacturing, machine operation, or mechanical equipment.
- Experience setting up machines, performing changeovers, or troubleshooting equipment.
- Strong mechanical aptitude and problem-solving skills.
- Ability to read a tape measure and perform basic measurements.
- Comfortable using a computer for basic production tracking.
- Dependable, organized, and willing to take ownership of your work.
- Able to lift up to 50 lbs. and work on your feet throughout the shift.
- Experience helping train or guide other employees is a plus, but not required.
Previous supervisory experience is NOT required.
If you're a skilled machine operator who's ready for more responsibility, we encourage you to apply.
