Job Description

Weekend Shift Machine Operator — Founding Crew | $25.30hr for Days $26.45/hr for Nights

Be Part of Something New.

Asheville, NC

We're launching a brand-new weekend shift — and we're looking for the crew that builds it from day one. This isn't stepping into someone else's routine. This is a chance to help shape the team, the standards, and the culture of a shift that doesn't exist yet.

The Schedule
Friday, Saturday, Sunday — 12-hour shifts. Work 36 hours, get paid for 40. That's a full-time paycheck on a 3-day workweek, giving you four days off, every week.

The Role
As a Machine Operator, you'll learn the full extrusion process from the ground up:

Loading and unloading plastic extrusion product
Operating computerized controls to manage machining temperature, speed, and output
Monitoring quality and troubleshooting as issues arise

No experience with extrusion? No problem. We're not looking for people who already know the machines — we're looking for people who show up, pay attention, and want to build a skill set that lasts.

Training That Sets You Up to Win

1-2 weeks of comprehensive, hands-on training, Monday–Thursday 6am to 6pm/6pm to 6am
Learn alongside the whole founding crew before transitioning together to the weekend schedule September 11th, 2026
Supportive environment built for real learning, not sink-or-swim

Where This Can Take You
This role is a launchpad, not a dead end. As the weekend shift grows, so do the opportunities — Trainer, Shift Lead, and beyond. The people who help build this shift from scratch are the same people who'll be asked to lead it.

Pay & Benefits

$22–$23/hr while training Monday-Thursday
$25.30/hr for Days Weekend
$26.45/hr for Nights Weekend

Is This You?
You want steady, reliable pay. You want your days off to actually mean something. You're not afraid of a new challenge, and you like the idea of being one of the first ones in the room — the one people ask "how'd you learn that?"

Apply today and help build this shift from the ground up.
