- Maintaining and calibrating inspection equipment
- Keeping your inspection area clean, organized, and ready to go

We believe in being upfront so there are no surprises:
- Hot environment – this is a production floor, not climate-controlled
- Heavy lifting required – up to 150 lbs (team lift) regularly
- On your feet all day – walking, standing, moving constantly
- ? Long hours – overtime is part of the job (including short notice)
- Repetitive physical work – lifting, pushing, pulling, bending
If that doesn’t sound like you, this won’t be a good fit and that’s okay.
What We’re Looking For
- Strong attention to detail (you catch what others miss)
- Ability to learn quickly and grow into more responsibility
- Comfortable working around industrial chemicals (acids/caustics) with proper PPE
- Solid work ethic and reliability your team depends on you showing up
- Ability to read, write, and document clearly
- Team player who communicates and takes ownership
Physical Requirements
- Lift and carry 40–150 lbs (team lift) repeatedly
- Frequent stooping, crouching, climbing
- Continuous standing/walking throughout shift
- Ability to visually inspect for small defects and measurements
Safety Matters Here
You’ll be trained and expected to follow strict safety protocols, including:
- PPE usage (glasses, boots, gloves, aprons)
- Chemical awareness and response
- Equipment handling and emergency procedures
What Success Looks Like
- Accurate inspections no defects slipping through
- Clean, consistent data tracking
- Strong communication with production
- Taking ownership of quality, not just “checking boxes”
Why this job
- Steady, full-time work with overtime opportunities
- Opportunity to learn a skilled trade and grow internally
- Team environment where hard work actually matters
- You’re not just another number you’re a key part of production
Bottom Line
This job is tough. It’s physical. It’s fast-paced.
