About the Role

We are a specialized Rubber Roller Manufacturer in New Bedford seeking a motivated, mechanically inclined individual to join our team.

We are looking for a self-starter who can work independently and take ownership of their performance. We are looking for a higher-level hire for this position—someone who views this not just as a job, but as a trade to be mastered.

Machine Shop Support: Utilizing manual lathes, grinders, and various measuring tools to assist in the production of rubber rollers.

Molding Department: Assisting with general labor tasks within the molding area as needed.

Quality Control: Measuring and inspecting finished products to ensure high-quality standards.

Problem Solving: Identifying mechanical issues and working efficiently to keep production on schedule.

We value a strong work ethic and the ability to learn over a specific number of years on a resume. Whether you are a seasoned pro or a recent vocational grad, we want to hear from you.

Required Training: Must have a certification or formal training in CNC (Computer Numerical Control) operation from a vocational school or accredited training service.

Mechanical Aptitude: You should be comfortable working with your hands and understand basic mechanical principles.

Skill Set: Familiarity with lathes, grinders, and precision measuring tools is a significant plus.

Mindset: You must be a "self-starter"—someone who can see what needs to be done and takes the initiative to do it without constant supervision.

Experience: Ideally 2 years of shop experience, but we are willing to talk to any candidate who possesses the right training and a high level of reliability.

Why Join Us?

Local Stability: We are a long-standing New Bedford business with a "common sense" approach to manufacturing.

Growth Potential: Your 30-day trial is your time to shine. We reward performance, reliability, and technical growth with pay increases.

Training: While you need the CNC basics, we will provide specific training on our specialized rubber roller manufacturing processes.
