Heavy Industrial Materials Handler — Manufacturing Support

At 7:00 AM, you’re geared up and ready. The production floor hums to life as you stage raw materials, move heavy components into position, and back up machine operators so the line never misses a beat. You’re hands-on, precise with tools, and confident working around industrial equipment. If that sounds like a day you’d enjoy, this role is for you.

What your day looks like

• Position and relocate heavy materials across the production area to keep workflows moving
• Lift and carry items weighing 50+ lbs repeatedly and safely
• Load and unload parts, supplies, and components as jobs change over
• Team up with production staff to complete daily manufacturing tasks
• Use basic hand tools and equipment to prepare, measure, and set up materials
• Stage materials for upcoming runs and ensure nothing holds up production
• Keep your work area clean, orderly, and free of hazards
• Follow all safety procedures, work instructions, and floor signs
• Pitch in on additional physical labor tasks as needed

What you bring

• Ability to repeatedly lift 50+ lbs
• Comfort with standing, bending, reaching, and continuous physical activity for a full shift
• Reliable attendance and strong work ethic
• Safety-first mindset and ability to follow directions
• Preferred: Background in manufacturing, construction, concrete, landscaping, farming, mechanical work, or other physically demanding fields

Important: This is not a warehouse role. It’s a hands-on industrial manufacturing position focused on heavy lifting, material movement, and production support.
