Imlay Canyon Gear
The mission of Imlay Canyon Gear is to serve the canyoneering community. We do so explicitly by manufacturing, distributing and selling high-quality canyoneering-specific equipment. Also important, we strive to promote good citizenship in the canyoneering community and foster a wilderness ethic in our desert canyons, focusing on Utah.
Imlay Canyon Gear is located in Kanab, Utah.
We are seeking a person to fulfill the Production Assistant role at our office in Kanab, Utah.
JOB DESCRIPTION -- PRODUCTION ASSISTANT -- PART TIME - 10-15-20 hours per week
The Production Assistant will perform these roles:
A. Measure, spool up, cut ropes at various lengths, finish the ends, tag and bag.
B. Prepare parts for production: hot cut straps, collect buckles, cut fabric pieces, collect parts according to the cutting sheets and organize these to go out to our home-based stitchers.
C. Receive sewn goods; inspect and complete products for stocking by turning right side out, insert foam panels, inserting pack frames and hipbelts, attaching lids and hangtags, and dressing product for display.
D. Assisting in preparation of large orders.
E. Vacuuming floors, taking out the trash, generally cleaning up and otherwise doing tasks that need doing.
Candidates should:
1. Be fully vaccinated for covid and flu. We are a tobacco-free workplace.
2. The work is physically demanding; full function of hands, arms and shoulders is required. Lifting boxes up to 40 lbs will be a daily activity.
3. We are a small company and the job includes a wide variety of tasks to be performed without supervision after training. A good memory for things is important. Use of THC products during the work week is not consistent with good job performance.
4. Ability to read at a high school graduate level. Familiarity with desktop computers and Excel spreadsheets is useful.
5. Have a basic understanding of what canyoneering is and how it works. Candidates need not be canyoneers, but it helps.
6. Candidates should familiarize themselves with what we do by visiting our website at CanyoneeringUSA.com
Hours, scheduling, pay
The job is intended to be a 15 - 20 hours per week job. During the three-week training period, fewer hours should be anticipated. The schedule is somewhat flexible. After training, we expect to set a standard schedule and you will be expected to keep that schedule.
This is an hourly position with zero formal benefits. Wage is based on my judgment of your productivity. Starting/training wage is $ 17.50 per hour. Expected ongoing wage is $ 25.00 per hour. Paydays are semi-monthly.
