Our Client is seeking a safety-minded, detail-oriented Batch Poly Operator to join our production team in Spartanburg, SC. In this role, you will safely operate and monitor batch polymerization reactors, blending systems, and chemical processing equipment to manufacture specialized polyester resins and polymer formulas.

• Experience: Minimum of 2 years of manufacturing experience (experience in chemical processing, plastics, or heavy industrial environments is strongly preferred).
• Technical Skills: Ability to read digital control screens, input data accurately, and perform basic math for recipe measurements.
• Physical Ability: Comfortable lifting up to 60 lbs, climbing industrial ladders/stairs, and working on your feet near high-heat machinery.
• Availability: Must be fully available to work a 12-hour rotating swing shift (alternating between day and night cycles, including weekends and holidays) on a 4-on, 4-off rotation schedule.
