Welcome to Lava Island
Lava Island is an indoor play oasis where kids fly across trampolines, vanish into towering jungle gyms, dive into foam pits, and race down slides while families share pizza and celebrate birthdays in the party rooms. It is loud, bright, and full of energy.
Every trampoline, deck, slide, and play piece is made by hand. Active Play Solutions (APS) is the team that makes them.
The Job
You will run the cutting machines on the APS production floor in Denver. That means the steel cutting machine and the CNC / beam saw. You will load stock, set up the program for each job, run the machine, and produce the precision-cut components that go into every new park.
This is a real machinist seat, not a button-pusher job. You will read cut files, confirm them against work orders, monitor the cuts, and keep the machines running clean. You will work alongside the Production Manager and the rest of the production crew.
Why APS
Real product. The work you do today shows up in a park kids will play in.
Cross-training. Strong CNC skills are the floor, not the ceiling. You can grow across the production floor over time.
Steady company. APS is growing, and we are hiring for the long run.
Predictable schedule. Day shift in our Denver warehouse. No travel.
Benefits. Per company benefits program.
What You Will Do
Run the steel cutting machine and the CNC / beam saw.
Load stock, set up programs, monitor cuts for accuracy and safety.
Read cut files from the Automation Designer and confirm each program against the work order.
Catch your own quality issues. Do not pass problems downstream.
Keep the machines clean, maintained, and running. Surface preventive maintenance and repair needs to the Production Manager.
Cross-train into other stations and production groups over time.
Follow all safety protocols. Cutting equipment is the heaviest, most safety-critical work on the floor.
What You Need
CNC or industrial cutting machine experience. Typically two or more years on CNC routers, beam saws, plasma or steel cutters, or similar programmed cutting equipment.
Comfort loading, programming, and running automated cutting machines.
Working knowledge of safe operation around heavier industrial equipment, including PPE and lockout procedures.
Reliable. Show up, hold a steady pace, do the work.
Open to cross-training into other production groups over time.
Experience cutting both wood and metal is a plus. Familiarity with G-code or common CNC programming environments helps. So does bilingual (English / Spanish).

Welcome to Lava Island
Lava Island is an indoor play oasis where kids fly across trampolines, vanish into towering jungle gyms, dive into foam pits, and race down slides while families share pizza and celebrate birthdays in the party rooms. It is loud, bright, and full of energy.
Every trampoline, deck, slide, and play piece is made by hand. Active Play Solutions (APS) is the team that makes them.
The Job
You will run the APS warehouse in Denver. That is a real four-part job: receiving and inventory, the paperwork that keeps it all in sync (work orders, packing slips, reconciliation), the building itself (vendors, supplies, cleaning), and load-out, getting finished components staged, loaded, and shipped to park sites.
It is also a hybrid role right now. Until we hit the volume to justify a dedicated cutting operator, you will run the steel cutting machine and the CNC / beam saw alongside the warehouse work. When we get there, that piece moves off your plate and the warehouse grows.
This is a solo role. You are the warehouse, the receiver, the shipper, the paperwork, and for now the cutting operator. You report to the Production Manager.
Why APS
Real scope. This is not a stockroom job. It is running a warehouse, end to end, with real responsibility.
Variety. Physical work, paperwork, vendor calls, cutting machines, load-out. No two days look the same.
Steady company. APS is growing. The warehouse role grows with it.
Predictable schedule. Day shift in our Denver warehouse. No travel.
Benefits. Per company benefits program.
What You Will Do
Run the warehouse
Receive deliveries, verify them against POs and packing slips, and log them in.
Manage stock and inventory across the warehouse.
Operate forklifts and aerial lifts safely.
Distribute materials to the production crew as needed.
Own the paperwork
Manage work orders, packing slips, and order reconciliation.
Work with Procurement: they purchase and source, you receive, reconcile, and flag discrepancies.
Keep the building running
Manage warehouse vendors (trash, utilities, building services, cleaning).
Stock supplies. Keep the space clean and safe.
Get loads out
Coordinate with the Production Manager to move completed parts to the staging bays.
Pack, load, and ship trucks to park sites.
Run the cutting machines (for now)
Steel cutting machine and CNC / beam saw.
Read cut files, load stock, run the program, monitor the cut.
Keep the machines clean and maintained.
What You Need
Warehouse operations experience. Typically three or more years in receiving, inventory, distribution, and shipping in a manufacturing or industrial warehouse.
Forklift and aerial lift certified, or able to get certified within 30 days.
Hands-on experience with order reconciliation. You can match a packing slip to a PO and catch when something is off.
Comfortable with industrial cutting equipment, or willing to learn. The cutting machines are part of the job today.
Comfortable with email, spreadsheets, and inventory systems. APS uses Microsoft 365.
Detail-oriented and organized. The paperwork side matters as much as the physical side.
Independent. You will be running the warehouse on your own most days.
CNC, beam saw, plasma, or steel cutting experience is a plus. So is ERP or inventory system experience. So is bilingual (English / Spanish).
