Specific Duties
  • Follow all mixing instructions precisely—no unauthorized changes to procedures.
  • Ensure tanks, pumps, tools, and equipment are properly cleaned to minimize contamination.
  • Recognize bottlenecks in real time and proactively shift resources to maintain workflow.
  • Execute 5S standards and help maintain an organized, safe work environment.
  • Promote and follow all safety rules, PPE requirements, and general Manufacturing policies.

Job Requirements

  • High School Diploma or equivalent required.
  • Strong attention to detail and clear written/verbal communication skills.
  • Team-oriented with strong collaboration and problem-solving skills.
  • Flexible and able to adapt to changes in direction or priority.
  • Knowledge of proper bonding/grounding procedures to avoid static discharge.
  • Understanding of safe handling practices for hazardous materials (HazMat).
