Job Description

We are looking for a highly versatile and self-directed Delivery Driver & Shop Assistant to be the ultimate "floater" for our facility. We are a specialized machine builder creating complex automation equipment for the industrial manufacturing sector.

The biggest selling point of this role is the variety: no two days are the same. In a single shift, you might drive our flatbed truck to deliver a completed machine to a customer, return to the shop to perform preventative maintenance on our CNC machines, and finish the day helping the purchasing department organize the stockroom. We are looking for an independent, highly reliable self-starter who can manage their own day, follow documented instructions, and represent the company professionally while on the road. This is an excellent opportunity to gain hands-on exposure to multiple sides of a dynamic manufacturing business.

  • Preventative Machine Maintenance: Perform basic daily maintenance on shop machinery, including adding oil and coolant, and safely dumping chip hoppers.

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.
