About the role

If you’re looking for a role where hard work is recognized, safety comes first, and people genuinely care about the work and each other—this could be the opportunity for you. We’re hiring Production Operators to join our team at the Shoals plant. This isn’t just a button-pushing kind of job—you’ll be hands-on with equipment, solving problems, and working closely with a solid team to keep production moving. It’s physical, fast-paced work in a manufacturing environment, and it’s important.

Responsibilities

  • Work safely, always. Safety is our top priority, and you’ll be expected to follow all plant safety and housekeeping procedures.
  • Operate and monitor production equipment, making adjustments as needed to ensure everything runs smoothly and products meet quality standards.
  • Record production data and results accurately so we can track what’s working and what needs attention.
  • Pitch in on maintenance tasks using basic tools—our team works together to keep equipment reliable.
  • Get involved in safety and improvement initiatives. We want your ideas and engagement, not just your labor.
  • Be flexible. Shifts, overtime, and weekend work may be required—this is a 24/7 operation, and production doesn’t pause.

Requirements

  • Taking safety seriously and being ready to follow plant rules and procedures.
  • Willingness to learn how to operate and troubleshoot production equipment—you don’t need to know it all on day one, but you need to be ready to learn.
  • Basic computer skills to enter data and track production performance.
  • A good eye for quality and measurements to ensure product specs are being met.
  • Comfortable using basic hand tools—hammers, wrenches, screwdrivers, putty knives, etc.
  • Strong team player with good communication skills. We rely on each other every shift.
  • Dependable attendance—this job matters, and we need people we can count on.

Qualifications

  • High school diploma or equivalent.
  • Experience operating similar machinery or equipment.
  • Ability to read and follow instructions, both verbal and written.
  • Basic math skills to measure and calculate.

Skills

  • Attention to detail.
  • Problem-solving skills.
  • Teamwork and collaboration.
  • Physical stamina and strength.

Benefits

  • Full benefits starting your first day on the job.
  • Two medical insurance options, vision, and dental coverage.
  • 401(k) Investment Plan with company match and a pension plan.
  • Additional programs like life insurance, accident insurance, legal insurance, and pet insurance.
  • Quarterly (hourly) / Annual (salary) bonus potential for all employees based on performance metrics tied to safety, quality, and productivity.
  • Paid time off and paid holidays.

Pay

The rate of pay may be adjusted based on the qualifications and experience of the candidate. Pay Range: $23.00 – $27.30/hour.

Schedule

M-F 2PM to 10PM.
