Production Laborer

Hewescraft welded aluminum fishing boats have been built in Colville, Washington since 1948, and although the brand has become the #1-selling boat in the Pacific Northwest, the Hewes family has kept its production-line facility in the town where it was born. That means an exciting, professional work environment in a small-town atmosphere against the backdrop of the mountains, forests, lakes, and rivers of Eastern Washington. The Colville, Washington area is an outdoor enthusiast’s dream with fishing, hunting, boating, hiking, camping, and more all within minutes of the Hewescraft factory.

Hewes Marine Company has always been an equal opportunity employer and offers an excellent benefits package including health, dental, and vision insurance, as well as paid vacation, a generous 401(k) matching plan, and paid holidays.
