Slitter Rewinder Operator — Medical Packaging

A day in this role

You arrive ready to transform large master rolls into precisely cut, ready-to-run roll stock that powers our press, lamination, and pouch operations — and fulfills customer roll stock orders. You’ll set up and operate a slitter/rewinder, verify measurements down to 1/16 of an inch, monitor quality, and keep material flowing safely and efficiently. You’ll move very large rolls with powered assist equipment, solve mechanical hiccups on the fly, and keep detailed attention on accuracy, cleanliness, and throughput.
