Tool Proficiency: Expert familiarity with industrial cutting machinery (clicker presses, embossing machine or laser cutters is a plus).

The "Pro" Mindset: A sharp eye for detail, a steady hand, and the ability to thrive in a high-energy, fast-paced factory setting. Why Join Us?

Vibrant Culture: Join a team that actually enjoys coming to work. We celebrate wins and support each other.

Growth Prospects: As we scale, so do you. We prioritize internal promotion for leadership roles.
