Job Description
Job Title:
Production Associate - $21/hr Job Description This role supports a fast-paced manufacturing environment where you handle bulk materials, perform general housekeeping, measure product, and shovel carbon into bags. You work as part of a production team that manufactures carbon used in water filtration systems, contributing directly to safe and reliable products. The position involves consistent movement, light-to-moderate lifting of up to approximately 30 pounds, and requires comfort working in a dirty environment due to the carbon process. Why Work Here? You join a stable organization with very low turnover, reflecting a workplace where people choose to stay and grow. The company offers comprehensive benefits, including medical, dental, vision coverage, and a 401(k) plan, supporting both your health and long-term financial security. While working on contract, you receive eight paid holidays, helping you balance work and personal time. The culture emphasizes safety, cleanliness, and care for employees, creating an environment where your well-being and contributions matter. Responsibilities Handle bulk materials throughout the production process, including loading, moving, and staging materials for manufacturing. Pack and shovel carbon into bags accurately and efficiently, ensuring proper weight, labeling, and handling. Measure product as required, following specified procedures to maintain quality and consistency. Operate production machinery and equipment as trained, monitoring for proper function and reporting any issues promptly. Assist with mixing and batch making activities, following instructions and safety guidelines. Use material handling equipment such as pallet jacks and, if trained, forklifts to move materials and finished goods. Work Environment The facility is a manufacturing plant located on the east side of Columbus, dedicated to producing carbon for water filtration systems. The work environment is naturally dirty due to the carbon process, and temperatures can be hot in the summer and cold in the winter, so you should be comfortable working in varying conditions.

Safety is a top priority, and you can expect clear safety procedures, regular emphasis on safe practices, and well-maintained equipment. The role follows a structured weekday schedule, with first shift typically running from 6:00 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. and second shift from 2:30 p.m. to 11:00 p.m., Monday through Friday.
