Full description
What you'll do
•
Inspect each lens or housing and diagnose exactly what material and process it needs — light buffing, deep sanding, or a full re-finish.
•
Set up with the right grinding wheels, sanding grits, and polishing compounds for the job in front of you.
•
Grind, sand, clean, and polish lenses by hand and machine until the finish hits insurance-quality standard — no shortcuts, no fogging, no scratches left behind.
•
Run every finished piece through quality control before it moves to the next station.
•
Follow safety procedures on every job — PPE, machine guards, and safe handling, every time.
•
Bring your ideas to the team on faster or better ways to get the same clean finish.
What you'll bring
•
High school diploma or equivalent practical experience — required.
•
1+ year of warehouse, manufacturing, or factory experience — preferred, not required.
•
Grinding, sanding, or buffing/polishing experience — a plus, not required, we'll train the technique.
•
You catch defects and imperfections before a part leaves your station — a sharp eye for finish quality matters here.
•
You can stand, stay focused, and keep steady hands through a full 8–10-hour shift.
•
You can track multiple parts moving through your station at once without losing accuracy.
•
You're coachable — willing to pick up new finishing techniques from teammates and trainers.
