• Demonstrate a positive attitude, strong work ethic, and willingness to learn new tasks quickly.

Why Work Here?

You will join a clean, well-organized facility with a friendly, hardworking, and focused team that takes pride in the products they build. The environment offers opportunities for overtime and the potential to transition to a permanent role for strong performers. With a second production line recently added and work orders increasing, there is ongoing demand that creates stability and growth opportunities. The workforce is diverse and inclusive, and the culture emphasizes teamwork, respect, and embracing all backgrounds.

Work Environment

This role is based on a second-shift schedule, Monday through Friday from 3:30 PM to 12:00 AM. The production floor is clean, well-maintained, and supports a diverse workforce of approximately 60 people. The culture is team-oriented, hardworking, and focused, with a strong sense of pride in building high-quality products and embracing all backgrounds. The dress code is casual, but cleanroom requirements are strict: cosmetics such as makeup, mascara, eyeliner, hair products, aftershaves, perfumes, fingernail polish, and fake nails are not permitted; all jewelry including earrings, rings, bracelets, and watches must be removed. Because cleanroom work occurs on a rotating schedule and is not guaranteed on specific days, these restrictions apply throughout the shift. Team members stand for most of the shift, especially in the cleanroom, and may wear a provided heavy jacket when needed. Eating and drinking are not allowed on the production line, and phones, videos, and pictures are prohibited in production areas to maintain safety and confidentiality. The environment is structured, fast-paced, and highly regulated, offering clear processes and expectations for success.
