About the Position

SEKO Dosing Systems Corporation is seeking a dependable, detail-oriented, and motivated Kanban Production Associate to join our Production team in Tullytown, Pennsylvania.

This position supports daily manufacturing operations by maintaining Kanban inventory, organizing and replenishing materials, performing stock rotation, and wrapping and preparing products for storage or movement.

The ideal candidate is reliable, organized, adaptable, and willing to work in different areas of the Production Department to support overall manufacturing operations.

Key Responsibilities

Kanban & Inventory Support

• Maintain and replenish Kanban inventory locations, bins, racks, and production material storage areas.

This position requires flexibility and a willingness to perform various production duties.
