Basically, we are looking for the best plastic raw material handler in the area. If you have not worked extensively at every step of the process (from material storage, identification, mixing, drying, testing, validating the process, through final inspection of molded parts) you will not be a good candidate for this position. This is a rewarding job for a person that likes to work independently.

If you have a love for precision and an interest in science this is a good opportunity to continue to learn about how polymers react with water and to develop best practices for drying and storing raw materials. We work with a wide variety of engineering materials and composites including proprietary polymer blends and matrix/fiber combinations.

Candidates that are currently employed at other companies are encoraged to apply. This is an opportunity to define a job for yourself in a small focused organization that appreciates their employees specific talents and efforts.

Contact Joe or Glen with questions. Hours are 6:30AM-4PM Mon-Thurs. Closed on Fridays. We run day-shift only.
