Double Backer Operator information

What is a double backer operator?

Double Backer Operators are skilled workers in the corrugated manufacturing industry responsible for operating double backer machines. These machines laminate the corrugated medium to the linerboard, forming the flat sheets used to make cardboard boxes. The operator monitors the machine, ensures quality standards are met, and performs routine maintenance. Attention to detail and adherence to safety protocols are essential in this role.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a double backer operator, and why are they important?

To thrive as a Double Backer Operator, you need knowledge of corrugated production processes, mechanical aptitude, and a high school diploma or equivalent. Familiarity with double backer machines, safety protocols, and production tracking systems is often required. Attention to detail, problem-solving skills, and effective teamwork help operators maintain quality and efficiency. These skills ensure consistent product output, minimize downtime, and uphold workplace safety standards.

What are some common challenges faced by double backer operators, and how can they be addressed on the job?

Double Backer Operators often encounter challenges such as maintaining consistent product quality, troubleshooting machine malfunctions, and managing a fast-paced production schedule. To address these, operators should be proactive in performing routine equipment checks, communicate effectively with maintenance and quality control teams, and stay up-to-date with safety protocols. Developing strong problem-solving skills and attention to detail can also help operators quickly resolve issues and minimize downtime, contributing to a smooth workflow and high-quality output.

Double Backer Machine Operator / Corrugator Specialist
Are you a detail-oriented operator with a knack for precision and a drive to optimize production? We are looking for a dedicated Double-Backer Operator to be a central part of our high-speed corrugator team. In this hands-on role, you will not just run the machine-you'll be the expert ensuring superior quality, maximum efficiency, and smooth operations from setup to final product. If you are ready to take ownership of a critical phase in our manufacturing process, we want to hear from you!
What You'll Be Doing: The Core Responsibilities
As the Double-Backer Operator, you will be the master of the machine, responsible for the entire double-backer process, from material staging to final quality checks.
  • Expert Setup & Operation: Perform precision setup of bridge guides and the glue station, ensuring the machine is perfectly aligned for each run.
    Quality Control & Precision: Monitor and adjust machine settings for tension, alignment, adhesion, and warp control mid-run to maintain our high-quality standards.
  • Material Management: Handle paper roll stock, confirm correct sizing and grade, expertly execute necessary splices, and ensure efficient material usage.
  • Maximize Efficiency: Proactively operate the double-backer at maximum available capacity and speed, in sync with the overall corrugator flow to meet ambitious production goals.
  • Maintenance & Improvement: Perform routine cleaning (starch pans, glue rolls, etc.), identify and report necessary equipment repairs, and proactively recommend process improvements to boost performance.
  • Documentation & Teamwork: Accurately complete production, quality, and safety reports. You'll also work closely with the Corrugator Operator and help train new dry-end personnel.

Skills & Experience We're Looking For
Required Qualifications
  • High school diploma or GED.
  • Proven mathematical ability to quickly read a tape measure and calculate figures such as percentages, volume, and rate.
    Strong mechanical aptitude and the ability to apply common sense understanding to detailed written or oral instructions.
  • Working knowledge of manufacturing equipment design, product quality specifications, and production layouts.

Preferred Qualifications (A Bonus, But Not Required!)
  • Prior work experience in the corrugated industry.
  • At least 6 months of experience on the dry end of a corrugator.

The Work Environment & Benefits
Physical Demands (What to Expect)
This is a physically active, demanding, and rewarding role. You must be able to regularly stand, walk, use hands for handling/feeling, reach, stoop, kneel, and occasionally lift/move materials. The work environment involves exposure to moving mechanical parts and is typically loud. Safety and proper housekeeping are always our top priorities.
Growth & Performance
We believe in investing in our people. Your performance will be measured not just on meeting operating standards (quality, cost, safety), but also on:
Personal Growth: Setting and achieving professional development goals each year.
Creativity: Actively participating in advancing the business through innovative ideas and solutions.
Ready to become an essential part of our high-speed manufacturing team? Apply today!
Pratt is America's 5th largest corrugated packaging company and the world's largest, privately-held 100% recycled paper and packaging company, with more than 10,000 highly-skilled, green-collar employees dedicated to the environment and sustainability.
