You’ll be a vital part of helping Custom Profile achieve our goals of Zero Defects and 100% On-Time Delivery.

You’ll be responsible for the full spectrum of tasks in the production of Custom Profile's products, from prepping and setting up equipment to ensuring a stable, quality output.

• Setup Superstar: Take charge of prepping, setting up, starting, and completing all set-ups according to company specifications and standard work instructions.
• Quality Control Ace: Perform crucial quality checks, inspecting parts for surface, color, profile, and dimension. You're the last line of defense against a bad part.
• Process Pro: Validate the stability of the process through dimensional checks and adjustments, working closely with Operators.
• Tooling Expert: Pull, prep, and make minor repairs to tooling and equipment as needed during the set-up of equipment. We're looking for someone with mechanical aptitude who isn't afraid to get their hands dirty and learn the nuances of our equipment.
• Paperwork Power: Complete all necessary production documentation accurately and in a timely manner.
• Mentorship: Support the training and development operators.

Key Strengths Required:

• Basic Math, Blueprint Reading, and Computer Skills (no need to be a whiz, just competent).
• Strong communication and training skills—you'll be working with a team and documenting your work.
• Excellent Problem Solving/Troubleshooting skills—because the line doesn't always cooperate.
