Job Title: Production AssociateJob DescriptionThis role works as a production associate in a manufacturing facility that produces resin-filled tubes used in the mining industry. The tubes resemble sausage casings and contain two chemicals that harden into a concrete-like substance when combined. Tubes are approximately one inch in diameter and range in length from six inches to five feet. Production associates support multiple areas of the operation, including packaging, quality inspection, machine operation, and mixing, while maintaining a fast-paced, safety-focused environment.Responsibilities

- Perform visual inspections of resin tubes to verify that each piece is free from defects and meets quality standards.
- Measure tube length and diameter using a tape measure to confirm that all products are within specified tolerances.
- Check every piece before sliding the material into the packaging machine to ensure only in-spec product is packaged.
- Operate the ILU machine after training, using the HMI (humanmachine interface) to monitor and adjust temperature, pressure, and speed settings to achieve the correct product consistency.
- Troubleshoot and solve problems on the ILU machine, making real-time adjustments based on product appearance and performance.
- Participate in first production runs after changeovers to confirm that quality standards are met and that the machine is set up correctly.
- Work in the mixer area to support preparation of materials and ensure consistent mixing processes as directed.
- Follow all safety procedures and guidelines, including proper use of equipment, adherence to lifting techniques, and compliance with facility rules.
- Use basic math skills and tape measure reading to complete measurements and quality checks accurately.
