Overview

We’re hiring Blade Makers for our large, established manufacturing operation.

This is a hands-on production role where manufactured components move through setup, grinding, and honing processes before becoming completed products. Depending on your station, you may adjust machinery, inspect precision products, change out worn components, or help keep the production line moving.

The work is physical and fast-paced, requiring you to stay active, keep up with the production line, and work alongside your team to meet daily production goals. While we are looking for dependable people who are comfortable working with their hands, you will use process control methods to achieve optimum machine settings.

  • Competitive employee benefits including medical, dental & vision coverage; 401(k); life, accident, and disability insurance; and wellness programs

  • Process Control: Maintain a controlled process utilizing pre-control methods to achieve optimum machine settings.

  • Quality Checks: Visually inspect and scan patterns of each tray and/or pin of blades produced, using measurement instrumentation to inspect and release all blades to assure quality specifications are met.

  • Tooling & Maintenance: Remove and replace worn grinding and honing components, including wheels. Work alongside maintenance mechanics on machine repairs as required.

  • Production Line Support: Maintain a daily production record, achieving productivity goals while simultaneously running multiple machines during breaks.

  • Safety & Housekeeping: Maintain equipment and work area in a clean, orderly condition while following established safety procedures and EH&S work instructions.

  • Teamwork & Collaboration: Detect and report unusual conditions to proper supervision and take necessary actions to correct or stop any unsafe practices

Required Qualifications:

  • High School Diploma or GED

  • Ability to perform physical, hands-on production work throughout the shift

  • Ability to move (push, pull, or otherwise manipulate) materials up to 35 lbs. independently and up to 90 lbs. with assistance

  • Comfortable reaching, stepping up onto a platform, and working in an industrial, oily environment

  • Strong attention to quality, process control, and safety

  • Ability to follow written work instructions, procedural requirements, and standardized production processes

  • Reliable attendance and punctuality

Preferred Qualifications:

  • 1+ years manufacturing, production, or machine-tending experienceworking in a regulated business or environment

  • Prior experience with grinding or honing machinery

  • Experience performing in-process quality inspections and making manual wheel adjustments

Salary Range: $18.82 - $31.60
