You will be trained to operate CNC lathes, manual lathes, saws, presses, and other production equipment. You will also assemble barbells, install components, inspect finished products, package bars in shipping tubes, and assist with receiving, inventory, and shipping when needed.

The ideal candidate enjoys working with machines and tools, building products, learning new skills, and taking pride in producing a quality finished product.

• Lift, carry, and move steel products weighing approximately 40 to 60 pounds
  
  
• Prepare, label, verify, and stage customer orders for shipment
  
  
• Receive and organize raw materials, components, and finished products
  
  
• Operate pallet jacks, carts, hand trucks, and forklifts when qualified
  
  
• Perform basic equipment cleaning and routine maintenance
  
  
• Maintain a clean, organized, and safe work area
  
  
• Assist with production, assembly, receiving, inventory, and shipping as needed
  
  

Qualifications

• Previous manufacturing, machine-operation, mechanical assembly, automotive, construction, maintenance, or production experience is preferred
  
  
• CNC or manual lathe experience is helpful but not required
  
  
• Comfortable using hand tools, power tools, and measuring equipment
  
  
• Strong mechanical aptitude and willingness to learn
  
  
• Strong attention to detail and commitment to quality
  
  
• Dependable attendance and strong work ethic
  
  
• Ability to follow written and verbal instructions

• Warehouse, shipping, inventory, Shopify, or ShipStation experience is helpful
  
  
• Fitness, powerlifting, or strength-equipment knowledge is helpful
  
  

We are willing to train the right person. Mechanical ability, reliability, work ethic, and pride in building quality products are more important than experience in every area.
