Identify process issues and communicate problems quickly to leadership and quality teams
Maintain accurate production records and follow work instructions

Mechanical Troubleshooting

Diagnose basic equipment issues and make adjustments when needed

Preferred:

Experience operating coating, laminating, printing, converting, extrusion, or web-processing equipment

Experience with slitting, rewinding, printing, or flexible materials
Previous experience in specialty materials, adhesives, packaging, or converting industries

Ideal Candidate Profile

The successful candidate is someone who:

✅ Enjoys working on machines and understanding how they operate ✅ Has a natural curiosity and wants to learn a technical process ✅ Takes ownership of equipment performance and quality ✅ Likes solving problems instead of simply performing repetitive tasks ✅ Wants a career path in advanced manufacturing

This role is not just a machine operator position. The right person will develop expertise in specialty coating technology and become a critical part of the manufacturing process.

Why Join This Team?

Work with advanced specialty manufacturing technology
Learn a highly skilled trade in coating and converting
