About the Role

The Operator I is responsible for assembling or packing various products and performing necessary quality tests according to product specifications while ensuring production demands are met. The role also includes recognizing basic equipment errors and either reporting them or performing basic troubleshooting tasks.

The operator uses measuring equipment to ensure quality specifications are met, operates material handling and processing equipment, updates the shop floor management system and CIP boards as needed, performs basic troubleshooting, and can run multiple machines while maintaining required output. Supply responsibilities involve visually checking workstations for low supplies, pulling supplies from designated stocking areas, transporting materials to and from workstations using appropriate handling equipment, and notifying a supervisor or material handler when supplies reach reorder levels.
