Interesting, challenging work with a big impact and room to grow on a team with excellent benefits. If you take pride in doing careful, hands-on work well — and you want that work to actually mean something — keep reading.
Rheo Engineering is a fast-growing team of roughly 100 engineers, craftsmen, and professionals building the powder handling systems and products that help pharmaceutical manufacturers produce medicine safely, efficiently, and reliably. We’re a critical link in the medicine supply chain, and we take that responsibility seriously. Our values — Bold Humility, Reliability, Collaboration, Competence, and Initiative — aren’t just words on a wall. They shape who we are and who we hire.
As an Assembler I on our Rheo Flexibles production team, you’ll build custom powder handling products used to manufacture medicine around the world. You’ll work with specialized equipment in a cleanroom environment, follow detailed procedures, and hold yourself to a standard our customers depend on.
This is a second-shift role: 3:30 PM – 12:00 AM, Monday–Friday. Please note: initial training takes place on first shift, so the ability to work first shift during your ramp-up period is appreciated.
If you thrive in a structured, hands-on environment and want room to grow, there’s a real path here.

What Success Looks Like
Your assemblies are completed on time, to spec, and pass inspection without rework
Cleanroom protocols and PPE requirements are followed consistently and without exception
The team doesn’t have to slow down or compensate for gaps in your execution — they know they can count on you
