Manufacturing Associate

The Manufacturing Associate is a versatile, cross-trained production team member who plays a direct role in the assembly, quality, and packaging of air and water filtration products. This is a single role that spans the full breadth of our manufacturing floor — from assembling filter components and installing gaskets, to printing and applying frame labels, inspecting finished units, and boxing completed product for shipment.

What You Will Do

Perform hands-on assembly of air or water filtration products at assigned production stations in accordance with standard work instructions and cycle time targets. Maintain a consistent output rate throughout the full shift, keeping pace with line flow and daily production targets. Perform changeovers on the assembly line as required, transitioning between product types efficiently and in accordance with standard work instructions.

Why It Might Be a Fit

A strong Manufacturing Associate is cross-trained, dependable, and quality-driven. They follow the process as written, raise concerns before defects multiply, and show up every day ready to contribute — no matter the station. Over time, they build the breadth of knowledge that creates real value on the floor and opens the door to advancement.
