Support operations with technical expertise, process improvements, and quality control. 4. Collaborate with plant managers, maintenance, and production teams. 5. Design, build, and improve-whether it's a fixture, a furnace, or a workflow. 6. Be a go-to resource for troubleshooting, training, and continuous improvement. What You Bring: 1. A degree in industrial engineering or a related field or equivalent work experience. 2. A passion for learning, growing, and making things better every day. We Want: 1. A curious thinker who sees problems as opportunities. 2. A team player who lifts others up and steps in when needed. 3. A detail-oriented doer who takes pride in quality and craftsmanship. 4. A communicator who listens, shares, and collaborates with respect. 5. A leader who's not afraid to get their hands dirty. What You'll Experience: 1. A workplace where your ideas matter. 2. A team that has your back. 3. A culture that values integrity, grit, and growth. 4. The satisfaction of seeing your work come to life-every single day. Physical & Practical Requirements: 1. Able to lift/push/pull 50 lbs and stand for 8 hours. 2. Comfortable working in heat and cold. 3. Forklift certified (or willing to be). 4. Wears PPE with pride-because safety is non-negotiable.
