Metal finishing and plating touches everything - medical devices, aerospace, defense, tools, hardware, and critical U.S. manufacturing. Most people don't know this industry exists. That's okay.


Our trade is not taught in schools. We'll train you! Training involves both hands-on training and online coursework, related to plating processes, metals, and chemical properties.


What we can't train? Work ethic. Reliability. Initiative.


If you show up, stay focused, and want to grow - this is a real career path with long-term opportunity!

What to Know Before Applying: (We want you to read this carefully)


Attendance matters:We rely on our team being here when scheduled. Our success depends on employees that show up to work. That means showing up every day, on time, and not leaving early. We reward strong attendance with bonuses!


Strict security protocols:Personal mobile devices must be locked up during shifts (available only on breaks and in designated areas).


Warehouse environment: Exposure to heat, humidity, dust, and noise. This is hands-on, active work. We have a clean warehouse and are compliant with OSHA, Federal, and State regulations.


Career-oriented: You’ll have the chance to grow with us if you bring a strong work ethic and initiative. Growth can be becoming an expert in the position, becoming a lead/trainer, changing departments, or going into a supervisor/manager role. It all depends on what interests the employee and the effort put forth by the employee.


We conduct in-person interviews only:This position is located in Minnesota. We do not conduct virtual interviews. If you do not currently reside in MN, you must have definite relocation plans in place before being considered for an interview. There is a place to explain in the screener questions included with this ad.

What You'll Do

Read and follow the paperwork, as each order is different. Use a hoist to lift a bar that has many racks of parts hanging from in, and moving it from processing tank to processing tank. It's a little science and a little elbow grease.

  • Perform plating operations per specifications and quality standards
  • Set up, monitor, and control plating lines and chemical baths
  • Process parts for required durations per shop paperwork
  • Inspect parts for thickness, defects, and quality compliance
  • Verify correct racking prior to plating
  • Operate and assist with plating tanks and rinse systems
  • Complete all required paperwork accurately
  • Follow all safety procedures and properly use PPE
  • Identify and report process or equipment issues
  • Maintain a clean and organized work area
  • Work independently while meeting production goals

This is active work—you’ll be on your feet, using your hands, and staying focused. If you like staying busy, personal accountability, and seeing tangible results of your efforts, you’ll thrive here!
