This role involves working in a busy metal manufacturing facility where you will handle metal automotive parts, operate machinery, and perform basic quality checks. You will regularly lift and move medium-weight parts, support automated robotic equipment, and ensure products are correctly labeled and sorted. The work is highly physical and fast-paced, suitable for individuals who are comfortable with repetitive lifting and active tasks throughout their shift.

Responsibilities

• Unload metal automotive parts into machines and ensure each part is securely clamped in place before processing.
• Support automated robotic equipment by correctly loading parts so robots can unload and stack them safely and efficiently.
• Perform routine quality checks on parts to verify they meet required standards and specifications.
• Sort and place finished parts into appropriate bins according to part number and labeling instructions.
• Lift and handle parts weighing approximately 20–45 lbs every 2–3 minutes throughout the shift.
• Maintain an organized work area and ensure parts move smoothly through each step of the process.
• Follow all safety procedures and guidelines while working around metal machining equipment.
• Adapt to changing production needs and assist with general manufacturing, assembly, parts washing, and machine operation tasks as required.

Essential Skills

• Demonstrated experience performing physically demanding work that involves frequently lifting 25–40 lbs.
• Previous or recent experience in roles that require continuous physical activity, such as construction, farming, landscaping, or similar labor-intensive work.
• Ability to consistently lift and move 20–45 lb parts every 2–3 minutes over the course of a shift.
• Comfort working in a manufacturing or industrial environment with loud and busy conditions.
• Basic experience with manufacturing tasks such as assembly, machine operation, parts washing, or quality checks.
• Ability to follow instructions, adhere to safety protocols, and accurately match parts to correct bins and labels.

Additional Skills & Qualifications

• Experience in metal manufacturing, machining, or automotive parts production.
• Experience in general manufacturing, assembly, or machine operation.
• Familiarity with basic quality inspection processes in a production environment.
• Willingness to work frequent Saturday shifts and occasional Sunday shifts as required by production demands.

Why Work Here?

You will join a stable manufacturing environment that offers consistent hours, clear shift structures, and opportunities to build hands-on industrial experience. The role provides regular overtime opportunities, especially on Saturdays, and enhanced pay for occasional Sunday work. You will gain exposure to modern manufacturing processes, including working alongside robotic equipment, which can help you develop valuable skills for future growth in the industrial sector.

Work Environment

The role is based in a metal manufacturing facility where metal machining is performed. The environment is loud, busy, and fast-paced, with well-lit work areas to support safe handling of parts. You will regularly lift parts from waist height and knee height to waist height, placing them onto equipment or into bins. Shifts run on a rotating schedule with days from 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., afternoons from 4:00 p.m. to 12:00 a.m., and midnights from 12:00 a.m. to 8:00 a.m. The position requires working many Saturdays and occasional Sundays, with Sunday work paid at a higher rate.
