About this role

Whelen Engineering is hiring a Production Associate for second shift (3:00 PM–11:30 PM, Monday–Friday) at its Charlestown, New Hampshire facility. The role centers on hands-on assembly work: you'll build emergency warning lights and sirens using basic hand tools and light assembly machinery, then prepare finished products for shipment. The work is straightforward and procedural, with close supervision and clear instructions guiding each task.

You'll need basic technical skills including the ability to read drawings and work orders, use simple electrical test equipment, and distinguish colors accurately. Physical stamina matters—you'll be on your feet for the full shift, regularly performing repetitive tasks, and occasionally lifting up to 35 pounds. A high school diploma is preferred but not required; what matters most is reliable attendance, the ability to follow written procedures, and comfort communicating in English with coworkers and supervisors. Overtime may be required.

This is an entry-level position suited to someone seeking stable full-time manufacturing work without prior experience in the field. You'll be expected to comply with safety policies, report hazards, and support the company's safety and quality standards.
