This company makes airflow measurement products for commercial HVAC customers!
They are currently hiring a Crate Builder to assist their Shipping department. They will work under a lead, to help him build wooden crates for large shipments and pack shipments in boxes for shipping.
DAY IN THE LIFE:
Each morning, their lead will tell them what they need to get done (ex: I need 4 crates built before noon). That will dictate their day.
The mornings are typically spent building the crates. This involves measuring the item they are shipping and entering the dimensions into a computer program that then tells you exactly how many pieces of wood you need to cut, and the length. They also will read off blueprints to build the crates. They then use a tape measure to measure out the dimensions. After that, they cut the wood with a panel saw and/or a radial arm saw. From there, they will use a forklift, hoist or buddy lift the item into the crate. Their supervisor will print out the shipping information and take it from there.
The Crates can be anywhere from 4 ft. x 3 ft. to as large as 12 ft. long/wide. They can weigh up to 2 tons. However, there is not a lot of lifting in this job, they are very aware of ergonomics. But they are on their feet 8 hours/day moving.
The 2nd half of their day is spent packaging smaller items into boxes and pulling items off shelves to be shipped.
The lead Peter is really nice and easy to work with. He came through Aerotek as a temp and was converted!
This job is pretty repetitive once you get the hang of it. Once they are trained, they will work pretty independently and own their part of the department.
End of month tends to be very busy for them as they try to get orders out. Expect work to pick up and to work OT!
Skills:
hand tool, heavy lifting, forklift, saw operation, blueprint reading, carpentry
