ABOUT THE POSITION:
There’s nothing better than that sense of accomplishment you get from crossing something off your ‘To-Do’ list. Know what we’re talking about here? If you can’t sit still all day, like to work with your hands & think driving forklifts is pretty cool, then join our J.W. Speaker Mold Department as a Material Handler on 3rd shift!
Your day kicks off with a team meeting to go over updates, metrics & transition shifts. From there, you’ll be supporting the department in various ways like changing resin using the Novatec resin conveyance system & Maguire vacuum dryer. Expect to operate material handling equipment like forklifts, war likes, pallet jacks, and stand-up forklifts.
