Position Overview
We’re hiring mechanically inclined individuals to join a clean, organized manufacturing shop that builds steel and sheet‑metal parts for Boeing. No aerospace experience is required — full training is provided. If you’ve worked as a car mechanic, service technician, fabricator, or simply enjoy hands‑on projects, this is a strong entry point into aerospace manufacturing.
What You’ll Do
• Drill, deburr, and prep metal parts for assembly

• Measure parts using calipers, micrometers, and other precision tools
• Work safely in a heavy, sometimes loud production environment
• Stay organized and meet daily production goals
• Communicate with your team and ask questions when needed

• Reliable, positive, and motivated to grow a long‑term career
• Able to work in a fast‑paced, hands‑on environment
Preferred but Not Required
• Mechanical, assembly, or sheet‑metal experience
• Experience reading blueprints or using precision measuring tools
Shift Details
• Day Shift: 6:30am–3:00pm (overtime typically offered early before shift start)
• Swing Shift: 2:30pm–11:00pm
• Swing Shift Differential: +$1/hr (so $22 becomes $23/hr, and experienced candidates land at $24–$25/hr)
• Overtime: Offered based on production needs after the first two weeks of training; not guaranteed
Pay & Advancement
• Standard starting pay: $22/hr
• Higher starting pay available for candidates with strong mechanical or assembly experience
• Company is open to reviewing higher compensation for top‑tier candidates
• $1 raise upon going direct
Why This Job Is a Great Fit
