This position is open to individuals who have a high level of mechanical aptitude and are eager to learn and grow with a fast-paced company. The ability or willingness to learn to drive a stand-up forklift is required. A stable work history is essential, as training takes at least 4 months. No prior experience in tape production is needed; we'll train you to make products for a variety of industries.
