Job Description

Overview

We’re hiring Assembly / Packers for a large, established plastics manufacturing operation.

This is a hands-on production role where manufactured components move through assembly, finishing, and packaging processes before becoming completed products. Depending on your station, you may assemble parts, inspect products, pack finished materials, load and unload components, or help keep the production line moving.

The work is physical and fast-paced, requiring you to stay active, keep up with the production line, and work alongside your team to meet daily production goals. No previous manufacturing experience is required. We're looking for dependable people who are comfortable working with their hands and willing to learn.

What makes this role different:

  • 50% of Your Days Off: Rotating 12-hour schedules + ability to choose either days or nights
  • Direct Path to Advancement: Advanced production and lead roles are filled from the shop floor, creating opportunities for promotion
  • Variety of Work: Learn multiple assembly stations, tools, equipment, quality processes, and production tasks as your skills develop

Compensation

  • $15/hr – Day shift
  • $16/hr – Night shift
  • Built-in overtime through the rotating schedules
  • Full-time, direct-hire – not a temp job
  • Opportunities for advancement into more advanced production roles

Shift

Multiple openings are available on both days and nights:

  • Day Shift: Rotating 2-2-3 schedule, 12-hour shifts
  • Night Shift: Rotating 4-on / 4-off schedule, 12-hour shifts

Responsibilities

  • Assembly: Assemble and fit together manufactured components following simple instructions and established production processes.
  • Packing & Packaging: Sort, stack, wrap, strap, label, and package completed products for storage or shipment.
  • Production Line Support: Keep up with the pace of the production line, handling materials and completing tasks efficiently to maintain steady production.
  • Quality Checks: Visually inspect parts and finished products for damage, defects, or other quality issues.
  • Material Handling: Load, unload, lift, carry, and organize components and finished products throughout the production area.
  • Safety & Housekeeping: Keep work areas clean and organized while following established safety procedures.
  • Teamwork & Cross-Training: Work alongside other production employees and learn different stations as needed.

Qualifications

Required

  • Ability to perform physical, hands-on production work throughout a 12-hour shift
  • Ability to regularly stand, bend, reach, lift, and handle materials
  • Comfortable using hand tools and production equipment
  • Strong attention to quality and safety
  • Ability to follow written work instructions and standardized production processes
  • Reliable attendance and punctuality

Preferred

  • 1+ years manufacturing, production, or assembly experience
  • Production assembly experience
  • High-volume manufacturing experience
  • Experience performing in-process quality inspections

About Laborup

Laborup is the #1 AI powered talent platform for America’s industrial workforce. We use AI to create jobs, not take them away. We help HR and plant leaders hire and keep the skilled workers who keep plants running: machinists, welders, maintenance techs, operators, industrial electricians, and engineers. USA Today called us the “LinkedIn for blue collar workers,” and Forbes profiled our work in “How AI Is Solving America’s 1 Trillion Dollar Manufacturing Labor Crisis.”

Today we work with manufacturers from 50 person shops to large public companies with tens of thousands of employees, and the story is the same everywhere. It is hard to find talent, hard to keep good people, and staffing costs keep rising. In a market where filling critical industrial roles can take months and turnover is constant, Laborup helps teams move qualified workers from first contact to on site interview in days instead of weeks and keep them on the floor longer.

Most of the workers our customers need are not on LinkedIn or the usual job boards. Laborup uses AI to find this hidden workforce, call and text them, screen and qualify them, build real profiles, and match them directly to the plants and roles where they can succeed. For workers, that means real, permanent roles at serious manufacturers, not one off gigs. For companies, it is durable infrastructure for hiring and retention at scale in a labor market that will stay tight for years.

We work across nuclear, defense, and advanced manufacturing, as well as sectors like aerospace, automotive, and food production. Teams that use Laborup hire 5 to 10 times faster, see around 3 times better retention, and cut cost per hire by up to 50 to 70 percent. That turns into fewer empty shifts, fewer missed orders, more stable teams, and more capacity without more headache.

We are building the modern talent system for America’s industrial base with a simple long term goal: put a billion industrial workers to work in good jobs that matter.
