Minimum Qualifications: - Technical Background and Machinery Experience required. - High school diploma or equivalent education required. - Demonstrated hands-on operational experience with high-speed manufacturing or packaging machinery. - Diagnostic and Mechanical Aptitude: Strong troubleshooting and root-cause analysis skills to quickly identify mechanical faults, sensor errors, and process deviations. - Operational Agility and Team Leadership: Proven ability to lead by example, prioritize under dynamic floor conditions, and seamlessly transition across diverse workstations. - Compliance and Standards Foundation: Strong working knowledge and personal commitment to Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP), OSHA/workplace safety standards, and Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs). - Digital and Systems Competency: Functional literacy with production tracking tools, digital verification platforms (e.g., Weever Forms), and learning management systems (e.g., Nexus). Physical Requirements: - Frequent lifting/carrying (10-50 lbs.) and frequent pushing/pulling (50-200 lbs.). - Frequent handling/gripping/bending/stooping. - Ability to work at elevated heights off a ladder or platform, climb stairs, leaning over equipment. - Ability to stand and / or work on your feet for extended periods - Ability to work a flexible schedule as needed to support production needs and to conduct multi-task work in a very fast-paced work environment. Line Relief and Shift Continuity - Structured Operator Rotations: Step in seamlessly to cover scheduled break rotations across core stations to prevent bottlenecking and protect production targets. - Outage and Absence Coverage: Provide flexible frontline support during planned downtime, peak relief windows, or unexpected staffing gaps to sustain continuous manufacturing flow. Packaging Area Leadership and Technical Support - Tactical Floor Leadership: Champion overall area performance by offering hands-on assistance and directing floor priorities to achieve daily output targets. - First-Line Issue Escalation: Serve as the primary point of contact to rapidly diagnose and resolve minor equipment stoppages, system faults, or process deviations. - Safety and Quality Standards: Uphold and reinforce standard operating procedures (SOPs), Good Manufacturing Practices (GMPs), and workplace safety across all assigned packaging cells. Changeovers and Clean-Inspect-Lubricate (CIL) - Pre-Planning and Alignment: Partner with Team Leads to stage materials, communicate schedules, and align the crew prior to line shutdowns. - Hands-On Execution: Actively assist in mechanical changeover tasks and sanitization routines to minimize transition downtime between product runs. - Compliance and Sign-Offs: Perform required post-task inspections and complete digital audit sign-offs via Weever Forms. Production Records and Digital Systems - Batch and Yield Reconciliation: Assist with tracking raw batch records and tallying completed finished goods against shift targets. - Work Order Auditing: Pull Work Orders (WOs) and audit run metrics directly through the Production Summary system. Subject Expertise and Team Capability - Production Coordinator Back-Up: Provide secondary leadership coverage to support administrative and operational shift management when required. - Subject Area Expert (SAE): Act as the technical SME for equipment operation, process optimization, and troubleshooting best practices. - On-the-Job Trainer (OJT): Drive team competency by pulling onboarding and standard training modules from Nexus and managing trainee qualification signoffs. - Autonomous Maintenance (AM): Drive ownership of Autonomous Maintenance initiatives, defect handling, and future pillar roll outs.
