- Follow all company safety procedures and use required personal protective equipment.
- Use basic hand tools to assemble or disassemble machine parts as needed.
- High school diploma or GED, or equivalent experience.
- Manufacturing and machinery experience is welcome.
- Ability to read and understand work instructions, job folders, and memos.
- Basic math skills, including calculations involving conversions, weights, volume, and distance.
- Ability to learn coating equipment, materials, and basic troubleshooting. Proficiency typically takes 12–18 months, depending on the machine.
This role involves frequent standing, walking, sitting, reaching, and using your hands. You must be able to occasionally lift or move up to 70 pounds independently and, with assistance, plastic film rolls weighing up to 200 pounds. The job may also involve climbing, stooping, kneeling, crouching, or crawling.
Work takes place in a manufacturing environment with moving machinery and occasional exposure to heat, fumes, or airborne dust. Noise can be moderate to loud when blowers are running. Required PPE may include gloves, safety shoes, dust masks, hearing protection, and safety glasses.
