Job Description

Overview

We're hiring Factory Workers / General Laborers for a large, established manufacturing facility.

This is a great opportunity for hardworking individuals who enjoy hands-on work and want to build a long-term career in manufacturing. The company is committed to developing and promoting employees from within, with opportunities to advance into more technical positions involving forklift operation, industrial machinery, equipment setup and calibration, automated production systems, and more.

The day-to-day work is physical, active, and fast-paced, involving the assembly, handling, inspection, and packaging of manufactured products. You'll work with tools and equipment, handle materials, and perform repetitive production tasks that require consistency, attention to detail, and a strong work ethic.

We're looking for dependable people who take pride in a hard day's work, enjoy staying busy, and are comfortable working with their hands. Previous manufacturing experience is helpful, but what matters most is reliability, a willingness to learn, and the ability to keep up in a busy production environment.

What makes this role great:

  • Direct Path to Advancement: Advanced production, equipment operation, and lead positions are filled from the shop floor, creating opportunities to develop valuable technical skills and earn promotions.
  • Full-Time, Direct-Hire Employment: Join the company directly from day one, with access to benefits, paid time off, opportunities for raises, and overtime pay. This is not a temporary or contract position.
  • 50% of Your Days Off: Rotating 12-hour schedules with openings on both days and nights.

Compensation

  • $17/hr – Day shift
  • $18/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

We're hiring for multiple positions across day and night shifts:

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

Responsibilities

  • Hands-On Production: Perform repetitive manufacturing tasks, including assembling, handling, processing, and preparing products throughout the production cycle.
  • Tools & Equipment: Use basic hand tools, power tools, and production equipment to complete assigned tasks accurately and efficiently.
  • Quality Checks: Inspect manufactured components and finished products for defects, damage, and other quality concerns.
  • Packaging & Finishing: Label, wrap, package, stack, and prepare finished products for the next stage of production or shipment.
  • Material Handling: Regularly lift, carry, load, unload, and move materials and products throughout the manufacturing area.
  • Cross-Training: Learn additional production processes, equipment, and workstations as your skills develop.

Qualifications

  • Ability to perform physically demanding, hands-on work throughout a 12-hour shift
  • Comfortable standing, bending, reaching, lifting, and moving materials repeatedly
  • Ability to stay focused and maintain a consistent pace while performing repetitive tasks
  • Comfortable using basic hand tools, power tools, and production equipment
  • Willingness to learn new skills, follow instructions, and take on additional responsibilities
  • Strong commitment to workplace safety, quality, and teamwork
  • Reliable attendance, punctuality, and a strong work ethic

Previous manufacturing, general labor, construction, warehouse, or other hands-on experience is a plus, but not required. We're looking for people who are ready to work hard, learn new skills, and grow with the company.

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.
