Job description

What you'll do

  • Inspect each lens or housing and diagnose exactly what material and process it needs β€” light buffing, deep sanding, or a full re-finish.

  • Set up with the right grinding wheels, sanding grits, and polishing compounds for the job in front of you.

  • Grind, sand, clean, and polish lenses by hand and machine until the finish hits insurance-quality standard β€” no shortcuts, no fogging, no scratches left behind.

  • Run every finished piece through quality control before it moves to the next station.

  • Follow safety procedures on every job β€” PPE, machine guards, and safe handling, every time.

  • Bring your ideas to the team on faster or better ways to get the same clean finish.

What you'll bring

  • High school diploma or equivalent practical experience β€” required.

  • 1+ year of warehouse, manufacturing, or factory experience β€” preferred, not required.

  • Grinding, sanding, or buffing/polishing experience β€” a plus, not required, we'll train the technique.

  • You catch defects and imperfections before a part leaves your station β€” a sharp eye for finish quality matters here.

  • You can stand, stay focused, and keep steady hands through a full 8–10-hour shift.

  • You can track multiple parts moving through your station at once without losing accuracy.

  • You're coachable β€” willing to pick up new finishing techniques from teammates and trainers.
