Why Work Here?

Employees benefit from a clean, modern, and highly automated facility that is expanding rapidly and creating significant opportunities for career growth and advancement into leadership roles. The organization supports strong financial growth through competitive pay progression, regular increases after conversion to full-time employment, and weekly pay once fully hired. Team members enjoy a comprehensive benefits package that includes medical, dental, and vision insurance, a 401(k) plan, 11 paid holidays, paid breaks while on-site, and paid vacation days after a short period of full-time service. A structured attendance recognition program offers additional incentives for reliable performance, and the growing customer base in a strong, stable industry provides long-term job security and the chance to learn new technologies and processes.
Work Environment

The role is based in the 700 building, a new, highly automated production area that closely resembles a clean-room environment in terms of process and cleanliness. The facility is temperature controlled, very clean, and less industrial in feel, with a strong focus on attention to detail and self-motivation. The production lines are fully automated and continuous, performing all critical steps such as shaping wire to the correct diameter, coating it with enamel, curing it in vertical ovens, and winding it onto spools. Operators primarily monitor the process, handle materials, and ensure quality rather than performing heavy manual labor, making the work relatively easy on the body. The environment supports demanding automotive customers, including on-site customer presence, so professionalism and adherence to strict quality standards are essential. Work is performed on 12-hour shifts using a 2/2/3 schedule, with a first shift from 8:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. and a third shift from 8:00 p.m. to 8:00 a.m. The role involves standing, walking, bending, and lifting up to 50 pounds, as well as using grated stairs to access upper levels. Employees use overhead cranes and forklifts to move raw materials and finished spools of wire, and they must follow all safety procedures and wear appropriate work attire suitable for a clean, industrial production environment.
