Your impact

• Lead with safety—verify guards and barriers, eliminate hazards, and follow standards and procedures.
• Cross-train and serve as a reliable backup across multiple operator roles.
• Complete hourly production and quality checks, and log downtime with root causes.
• Inspect finished goods; quarantine and report any nonconforming output.
• Maintain an orderly, audit-ready work area.
• Share information across departments to keep safety, quality, and throughput aligned.
• Tackle extra responsibilities as business needs evolve.

What you’ll need

• No high school degree required.
• 1–3 years of related operating experience (manufacturing, machining, or similar).
