Key Responsibilities

  • Set up, adjust, and operate Simco, Torin, Wafios, or comparable spring-coiling equipment
  • Convert straight metal wire into precision coil springs
  • Perform complete machine setups, adjustments, changeovers, and troubleshooting

  • Troubleshoot mechanical and production issues
  • Work in a high-volume production environment
  • Train and support less-experienced operators as needed

Must-Have Qualifications

  • 3+ years of direct spring-coiling setup experience
  • Hands-on experience setting up spring-coiling machines
  • Ability to independently set up and run a coiling machine
  • Strong understanding of the spring-coiling process
  • Experience converting straight wire into precision coil springs
  • Experience with Simco, Torin, Wafios, or comparable coiling equipment
  • PLC programming/machine-control experience
  • Strong mechanical troubleshooting skills
  • High-volume manufacturing experience

Compensation & Benefits

  • $28–$35/hour for experienced/journeyman-level candidates
  • Up to approximately $40/hour for top-tier, setup-level coilers
  • Performance-based bonus tied to company profitability
  • Medical, dental, and vision benefits
  • Retirement benefits
  • Paid time off
  • Additional company benefits

Schedule & Work Environment

  • 5:00 AM–2:30 PM or 6:00 AM–2:00 PM
  • Schedule flexibility available
  • Approximately 5–8 hours of overtime per week when available; not guaranteed
  • 100% onsite
  • Manufacturing/shop environment
  • Physically demanding environment, including exposure to heat

We are looking for someone who wants to build a long-term career, take ownership of their work, and grow with the organization.

We look forward to your application!
