Work Environment
You work in a loud, industrial manufacturing facility that primarily handles wood-based materials, so some areas may have light dust while remaining generally clean and well-maintained. The environment is unionized and production-focused, with approximately 70 employees across day and afternoon shifts. You may work around a variety of equipment, including panel saws, 3-axis CNC machines, presses, robotic arms, and flexographic machines. The schedule follows a bi-weekly rotating shift pattern, with days running from 6:30 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. and afternoons from 3:30 p.m. to 12:00 a.m., and overtime may be offered either 1.5 hours before or 2 hours after regular shifts. Access to personal transportation is strongly recommended due to shift times and local bus routes. Standard manufacturing attire is expected, with safety footwear and safety glasses required, supported by allowances once you become a full-time permanent employee.
