Backyard Buddy is an automotive lift company that has been manufacturing in the USA for more than 30 years. We are under new management and plan significant growth. We are looking for mechanical minded people for our manufacturing operation.

We offer a
Four-day work week
. Our schedule is Monday through Thursday or Tuesday through Friday, 10 to 12 hours a day.

A typical day would include attending a startup meeting, receiving your job assignment, and completing different segments of the job until done for the day. You will assist in gathering supplies, tools, cleaning, assembling, and following directions. You will have the opportunity to learn all of the jobs and often will have the opportunity to move between work centers regularly.

This job works in the manufacturing elements, so it’s hot in the summer and cold in the winter. The job can be dirty, greasy, sweaty, and smelly at times.

The working environment is fantastic as all of the team gets along well.

With the
Four Day Work Week
, we recognize national holidays and offer vacation/personal days after a normal waiting period. We offer health, dental, and vision insurance. There is also a plan for 401k retirement for those planning for the future.

Must be neat in appearance, use professional language, have a positive attitude, and be fully responsible. We are a drug-free company and have a pre-employment drug screening program. You must have a clean driving record including a valid driver’s license.

We desire to hire someone that wants to learn and advance in your career. Former diesel mechanics, welders, auto mechanics, repairmen, electricians, and construction workers have had great success here. Those with a strong desire to achieve have been the most successful.
