- Load materials, move parts, and help ensure jobs are completed efficiently
- Follow work orders, instructions, and basic blueprints to complete tasks accurately
- Perform basic inspections to ensure quality standards are met
- Assist with packaging, counting, and preparing materials for shipment

- Perform routine equipment checks and basic maintenance
- Step in where needed to support team members and production priorities
What You Bring

- Basic math and problem-solving skills
- Comfort working with tools, equipment, and basic measuring devices
- Ability to adapt quickly to changing priorities and production needs
- Team-first mindset with a positive attitude
Preferred Experience

- Exposure to fabrication, machining, or production equipment
- Vocational or hands-on training
What It’s Like to Work Here
At The Gund Company, we value people who show up, contribute, and take pride in their work:
- Team-oriented culture—we help each other succeed
- Hands-on environment where you can build real skills

- Leaders who support your development and growth
- Opportunities to move into specialized roles (CNC, fabrication, etc.)
