Description

Description The Drexel Way We don’t just make roof and floor trusses; we Supply. Happiness. Drexel is Team Member-owned and community-driven. With six retail hubs and three manufacturing plants across Wisconsin, we’ve been a Top Workplace every year since 2011. Why? Because we hire for heart and train for skill. When you join Team Blue, you aren't just a team member—you’re an owner. The Mission: Join our mission to supply happiness to clients, communities, and your team members. This is a shift lead position where you'll lead the 3rd shift team. You’ll work alongside the Team building roof and floor trusses for contractors and homeowners, integrating cutting-edge robotic technology and automation into your daily work! Bring your passion and determination, and get ready for some fun! 3rd Shift Leadership Priorities: The Night Watch: Full ownership of shift-to-shift handoffs. You ensure that the production goals set by the day shift are met or exceeded by sunrise. Team Architect: You don't just manage; you build. You will interview and select the "night owls" who have the stamina and skill to thrive on this shift. Autonomous Problem Solving: When a robotic sensor trips or a blueprint looks off at 2:00 AM, you are the first line of defense. You troubleshoot and keep the line moving. Safety Stewardship: Fatigue is the enemy of safety. You stay sharp and keep your team vigilant, maintaining a clean and hazard-free floor during the toughest hours of the day. What else will you do: Operate and monitor automated truss-building machinery, ensuring precise positioning of pre-cut boards according to blueprint specifications. Ability to lift up to 50 lbs & climb up and down from heights between 2.5-3 ft repeatedly throughout the day. Basic Mathematical Skills. Place metal reinforcement plates over connecting joints. Swing a hammer to connect parts at joints. Perform quality checks, verify dimensions and accuracy of robotic assembly before moving trusses to the stacker. Always maintain a safe and neat work area at all times. Other Duties as Assigned. What Success Looks Like: Experience with leading production teams. Experience with hand and power tools, and ideally, experience with automated machinery or robotic systems (even if it's just basic operation). Experience with reading building plans and digital schematics. Basic math skills. Your background involves putting customers first. You have been a HUGE contributor to the success of a team. You are uniquely you and bring something to the table that no one else can. You have done some great things that don’t necessarily fall into the career path above, but that’s what makes you cool! Tell us why you would be great for this job anyway…market yourself to us! The Drexel Advantage: The Wealth-Builder ESOP Shares: We don’t just work here; we own the place. You’ll earn a real stake in the company’s success. Profit Sharing: When Drexel wins, our team wins. 401k: A solid foundation for your long-term retirement goals. Health & Well-Being Comprehensive Coverage: Medical, Dental, and Vision insurance to keep you and your family "weather-proof." Fitness Reimbursements: Annual funds dedicated to your physical health and family activities. Employee Assistance Program (EAP): Confidential support when life gets complex. Life & Legacy Immediate Paid Time Off: Start with Holiday and Vacation pay from day one. Scholarship Program: We’re invested in the next generation—educational support for the children of our team members. Annual Charity Match: We’ll double your impact on the causes you care about most. The "Drexel" Lifestyle Birthday PTO: A paid day off to celebrate you. Product Discounts: Special pricing on the high-quality materials we sell. Plus More: A constant stream of "fun little perks" that make the yard a great place to be. PM85
