Working Lead – Pokémon Packaging & Assembly

Position: Production / Packaging Lead Associate
Job Type: Full-Time
Shift Schedule: Monday - Friday 6am - 2:30pm
Pay: $16.50/hr.

Job Overview

We are seeking a dependable, organized, and hands-on Working Lead to join our production team at Bennett Packaging.

This position combines regular production and packaging duties with additional responsibilities for checking in temporary employees, tracking attendance, and assisting with daily timekeeping.

The Working Lead will work directly alongside production associates assembling Pokémon trading card displays and promotional products while helping ensure smooth daily operations.

This is a hands-on working position, not a traditional supervisory or office role. The ideal candidate will be comfortable performing repetitive assembly tasks while taking on additional responsibility for employee coordination and attendance tracking.
