Responsibilities

• Load and unload materials from trucks onto conveyor belts, pallets, and other designated areas.
• Mix raw materials according to established procedures to manufacture concrete blocks.
• Place finished or semi-finished concrete blocks onto conveyor belts for further processing or packaging.
• Perform general labor tasks throughout the production area as directed by supervisors.
• Lift and move materials weighing up to 50 pounds repeatedly throughout the shift.
• Maintain a clean, organized, and safe work area by following housekeeping and safety guidelines.

• Work effectively as part of a production crew, communicating clearly with team members and following directions.
• Follow all safety procedures, including proper use of equipment and adherence to facility rules.
• Demonstrate reliability by arriving on time, working scheduled hours, and being available for overtime as needed.

Essential Skills

• Ability to consistently lift and carry 50 pounds throughout the entire workday.
• Ability to stand on your feet for the full length of the shift.
• Willingness to perform general labor and production tasks in a physically demanding environment.
• Capability to load and unload materials safely and efficiently.
• Comfort working in a dusty, outdoor-style production environment under a roof.
• Reliability and strong work ethic with a focus on safety and teamwork.
• No prior manufacturing experience required, but comfort with hands-on physical work is essential.

Additional Skills & Qualifications

• Hands-on work experience in areas such as landscaping, construction, or other physically demanding roles is beneficial.
• Athletic or physically active background can be helpful for the physical nature of the job.
• Mechanical aptitude or mechanical thinking is a plus and can support growth into more advanced roles.
• Interest in learning production processes and potentially progressing into roles such as machine operator or forklift operator.
• Willingness to work an ongoing contract that may last several months and could extend up to approximately 90 business days for potential hire.

Why Work Here?

You will join a stable operation that offers a strong starting point even without prior experience, with clear opportunities to grow into roles such as machine operator, forklift operator, or other advanced positions. The team culture is supportive and collaborative, with a good crew of people who work together to get the job done. The role provides steady, long-term work through a temp-to-perm structure, with plenty of hours available for those who want them. You can stay active and build strength while you work, combining physical exercise with earning potential and career growth in a production environment.

Work Environment

You will work for a concrete block manufacturer in a general labor and production setting. Most work takes place outside but under a roof, providing coverage while still being exposed to outdoor conditions. The environment is dusty due to the materials used in manufacturing. Shifts run from 6:00 a.m. to approximately 3:00 or 4:00 p.m., Monday through Friday, with optional Saturdays. The typical expectation is 45 to 55 hours per week, offering substantial overtime opportunities. This is an ongoing contract role that may last for several months and can extend up to around 90 business days for potential hire, depending on performance and business needs. You will spend most of your time on your feet, lifting and moving heavy materials, and working around conveyors, pallets, and trucks in an active production area.
