About Rheo:
Rheo Engineering is a team of roughly 90 engineers, craftsmen, and professionals building the powder handling systems 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.

The Role:
If you take pride in doing precise, physical work well — and you want that work to actually mean something — this role is worth your attention.

As an Assembler I on our Rheo Flexibles production team, you'll build custom, powder handling products used in the manufacture of medicine around the world. You'll be working with specialized equipment in a cleanroom environment, following detailed procedures, and holding yourself to a standard that the customers we serve depend on.
