Join Us
There isn’t a secret recipe for our 80 years of success. We didn’t jump from one get rich quick scheme to the next. We believe in simple things. Like safety, service, and quality. We believe in people. Our people got us here and our people will always be our top priority. Join our proud team — a 2019 Des Moines Register Top Workplace in Iowa!
To help determine if we might be the place for you,
take a look at our Tenets of Success:
Act like an owner.
Not just a job description and never just a number; we are leaders, whether by title or by contribution, who take responsibility for our successes and failures.
Be interested. Stay interested.
We commit to breaking down traditional barriers and punching through walls that haunt our industry to learn about each other’s roles, needs, and successes. As a culture and as a company, we rise or fall together.
Create change. Start with yourself.
As individuals, we lead change through proactive communication and action rather than waiting for change to come to us.
Seek new perspectives.
We believe better ideas can come from unlikely places. Through cross-functional teaming, we bring fresh perspectives to our culture, business, and brands.
Fail fast. Learn fast.
Innovation doesn’t come without some pain. We fearlessly forge ahead with an accelerated learning curve to deliver better ideas and implement better practices.
The Perks of Being NLM Family
Work Life Balance
Happy employees are productive employees. That’s why we offer summer hours, work from home, flex-time, volunteer time off, and paid time off, so our employees can enjoy life away from the office, on their terms.
Benefits
Happy employees aren’t enough, we want healthy employees too. Our medical, dental, and vision plans, wellness program, gym membership, and company-matched HSA contributions give our employees (and their families!) the tools they need to live healthy lives.
Compensation and Awards
Hard work should be rewarded. Period. Our competitive wages, profit sharing program, 401K match, safety incentives, and tuition reimbursement program let our employees know we value their time and contribution.
Tammy
Entering data for the engineering department is my main responsibility, but I also help other people and departments. I jump in where I’m needed including shipping, sales, programming, and scheduling. Each day is something different. When helping other departments, I am challenged to learn new systems which I enjoy.
"Having a close-knit team and a boss I can talk openly with are what make my job enjoyable."
A little bit about me
I grew up in Marion, Iowa and attended Capri and Kirkwood Community College.
I like to travel to Chicago to visit my daughter, Brittany.
My other hobbies include archery, my dogs, and spending time with friends and family.
Gary
I do whatever needs to be done. Working on our specialty units and training new employees are some of my responsibilities. My favorite part of my job is the variety of products I get to build for our customers. It’s different most every day.
"Working on special projects challenges me to learn more and push myself to improve."
A little bit about me
I grew up on a farm outside of Walford, Iowa and graduated from Lincoln Tech in Auto Service and Management, Nokomis Fire Academy, and Manatee Tech Institute EMT.
I am a single dad of two great kids. I have five older sisters and one older brother.
My hobbies include cars, drag racing, hockey, and movies.
John
Each morning, I check the build schedule, the parts cart, and then grab the hard card (the customer’s specification form). Maintaining shipping requirements while building the products from the bottom through full assembly are just a few of the things that we do. When the day is done, I am off to spend time with my family. I enjoy being a part of the final assembly team – we are both proactive and productive. I feel like NLM is where I belong. It’s a place where dedicated employees can advance.
"We have good people who care about being efficient and strive for quality."
A little bit about me
I grew up in Nesbit, Mississippi – about 20 minutes south of Memphis - and graduated from Desoto County Vocational School in Architectural and Mechanical Design.
My family includes my fiancée, Amy, and kids, Gavin, Anden, Brayden, and Abry.
My hobbies are biking, swimming, basketball, and any family activity.
Junior
Busy, my days are always busy. Packing, sizing, working with different people to get their items to our customers in a secure way; that is what I do. Picking my favorite part of the job is a hard decision! I like the bonus checks, membership advantage, and shipping parts out to our customers.
"The good treatment and overall environment around here are what I like most about NLM."
