We’re hiring a Reliability Engineer to lead and mature the reliability strategy at one of East Tennessee’s fastest-growing plastics manufacturers. As the company breaks ground on its third facility in Morristown, this role is critical to ensuring that the foundation of its operations, equipment, processes, and people, are prepared to scale with confidence.
This is a hands-on, cross-functional engineering role where you’ll drive reliability initiatives across production, maintenance, and engineering. You’ll lead efforts to reduce downtime, extend asset life, and embed a culture of proactive maintenance. With a wide array of plastics processing equipment—including extruders, grinders, heaters, conveyors, and chillers—you’ll develop systems to prevent failures and improve performance across a growing facility footprint.
The company is privately owned, has been in operation for over 40 years, and prides itself on stability, rapid growth, and exceptional employee benefits, including 100% employer-paid health, dental, and vision insurance, tuition reimbursement, and more. If you’re energized by building systems, leading change, and being part of a business on the rise, this is a compelling opportunity to make a lasting impact.

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.
