What You'll Do & How You'll Grow

As a Paper Machine Operator, you'll be at the heart of our operations. Your core responsibilities and learning opportunities will include:

Hands-On Operations: Proactively assisting your team with setting up, operating, and maintaining our state-of-the-art papermaking equipment.

Problem-Solving: Diagnosing and resolving production issues to ensure maximum uptime and efficiency. You'll be the go-to person for troubleshooting.

Quality Assurance: Performing physical testing of raw materials and finished products to maintain our high-quality standards.

Maintenance & Improvement: Assisting with preventative machine maintenance and performing "hands-on" small repairs. You'll use your mechanical aptitude to drive continuous improvement.

Data & Analysis: Interpreting data from our computer systems, performing basic mathematical computations, and completing necessary reports in a timely and accurate manner.

Team Leadership & Training: Learning to monitor, control, and adjust machines and processes, as well as receiving and providing training across multiple job disciplines. Our goal is for you to become proficient in all job areas within the mill.

Safety Champion: Upholding all established safe work practices and being ultra-cognizant of your surroundings to ensure a safe environment for everyone.

What We're Looking For

We're searching for a dedicated and driven individual with the following qualifications:

Education: A 2- to 4-year post-secondary degree (from a college, university, technical school, military, or other advanced institution) or equivalent real-world experience is REQUIRED.

Learning Mindset: A proven record of learning aptitude and a strong desire to participate in ongoing educational and certificate training programs.

Mechanical & Mental Aptitude: A working knowledge of basic computer use, the ability to read technical diagrams, and a knack for "light general maintenance." You must be able to communicate effectively, understand complex procedures, and operate a calculator.

Physical Stamina: This is a fast-paced and physically demanding role. You must be able to stand for long periods, lift 50+ pounds (non-repetitively), climb stairs and ladders, and work in an environment with extreme temperatures.

Safety Consciousness: A meticulous approach to safety is non-negotiable. You must be willing to wear all required Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) and follow all plant rules.

Background Checks: You will be required to pass a drug test/screening, background check, physical exam, and pre-employment aptitude testing.

We value our employees and offer a comprehensive benefits package designed to support your career and personal life.
