Be the Backbone of Our Operation

At The Gund Company, Utility Operators are essential to keeping our production running smoothly. This is a hands-on, high-impact role where flexibility, teamwork, and a strong work ethic make all the difference.

If you’re someone who likes variety in your day, takes pride in supporting your team, and wants to grow in a manufacturing environment—this is your opportunity.

Why This Role Stands Out

• Every day is different—you’ll work across multiple machines, processes, and teams
• You play a critical role in keeping production moving and teams supported

• Support production by operating a variety of equipment and assisting across departments
• Load materials, move parts, and help ensure jobs are completed efficiently
• Follow work orders, instructions, and basic blueprints to complete tasks accurately
• Perform basic inspections to ensure quality standards are met
• Assist with packaging, counting, and preparing materials for shipment
• Maintain clean, organized, and safe work areas
• Perform routine equipment checks and basic maintenance
• Step in where needed to support team members and production priorities

What You Bring

• Strong work ethic and willingness to learn
• Ability to follow instructions and communicate with supervisors on priorities
• Basic math and problem-solving skills
• Comfort working with tools, equipment, and basic measuring devices
• Ability to adapt quickly to changing priorities and production needs
• Team-first mindset with a positive attitude

Preferred Experience

• Prior experience in a manufacturing or shop environment
• Exposure to fabrication, machining, or production equipment
• Vocational or hands-on training

What It’s Like to Work Here

At The Gund Company, we value people who show up, contribute, and take pride in their work:

• Team-oriented culture—we help each other succeed
• Hands-on environment where you can build real skills
• Leaders who support your development and growth
• Opportunities to move into specialized roles (CNC, fabrication, etc.)

Benefits That Support You
