Job description

RSCC Wire & Cable LLC
As a part of the global industrial organization Marmon Holdings-which is backed by Berkshire Hathaway-you'll be doing things that matter, leading at every level, and winning a better way. We're committed to making a positive impact on the world, providing you with diverse learning and working opportunities, and fostering a culture where everyone's empowered to be their best.
A qualified Extruder Operator has knowledge of the extrusion line and accessory equipment, is capable of setting up and operating the extruder to insulate bare wire conductors, both stranded and solid, of various sizes. The operator understands and performs all tasks in conformance with technical instruction sheets, posted general instructions, verbal instructions, and completes required documentation. The operator is expected to monitor for and detect faulty machine operation, defective materials and/or process problems and communicate to the supervisor.
1) Demonstrate a working knowledge of the extrusion line/equipment, including control panel(s), payoffs, takeups/traversing systems, capstans, spark testers, wire troughs, compound feed hoppers and wire accumulators or tensioning systems.
2) Mount payoff reels, thread conductor through tensioners, wire accumulators, tensioning systems, metering capstans, head, wire troughs to takeups. Ensure proper selection of tips, dies and print wheel (if required).
3) Set gears, ratios and heats to required specifications.
4) Set any marker tapes, separator tapes or adhesives as specified.
5) Attend to machine during operation, making adjustments to tension, line speed, O.D. and center as necessary. Change payoff and takeup reels as required.
6) Perform extrusion line tasks in conformance with manufacturing instruction sheets (MIT), Quality checklist, the safe work practice summary and the process setup sheets. Verify conductor size, number of strands, lengths and required insulating compounds are correct.
7) Complete workcenter documentation, including OD/wall charts, compound lot records, length sheets, traveler reel tags, traceability sheets/tags and labor reporting sheets.
These are the general duties required to fulfill the Extruder Operator job description, not a detailed description of all work required. New duties and responsibilities may be required to meet the changing demands of the business.
This is a 2nd shift (3pm-11pm, M-F) position.
Following receipt of a conditional offer of employment, candidates will be required to complete additional job-related screening processes as permitted or required by applicable law.
We are an equal opportunity employer, and all applicants will be considered for employment without attention to their membership in any protected class. If you require any reasonable accommodation to complete your application or any part of the recruiting process, please email your request to careers@marmon.com, and please be sure to include the title and the location of the position for which you are applying.
