Key responsibilities

  • Start up and stage the production line, perform pre-run checks, and monitor the slurry-forming and bonding equipment during operation.

  • Inspect finished plugs for defects, clean machine components, and clear slurry buildup to ensure continuous production.

  • Report maintenance issues, track material usage, and support equipment cleaning and operator training activities.

Job description

Role Summary

Machine Operator running slurry-forming and bonding equipment at Quick Plug Canada's St. Catharines plant, producing bonded growing media plugs for horticulture. Responsible for line startup, continuous quality monitoring, and hands-on equipment upkeep, including clearing accumulated mud/dirt slurry from machine components.

Shift: Afternoon shift, 3:00 PM – 2:00 AM, Monday to Thursday (4-day work week). Optional overtime shifts available on Fridays.

Day-to-Day Responsibilities
  • Start up and stage the production line to hit scheduled run time, including pre-run checks on PLCs and automated forming equipment
  • Feed and monitor the dirt/peat slurry and binder mixing process, watching for inconsistent bonding, incomplete cure, or off-spec plug density
  • Continuously inspect finished plugs for defects (weak bonding, mud clumping, size/shape deviation) and report to Leads
  • Clean and clear designated machine components per the posted cleaning schedule, including shoveling out mud and dirt slurry residue that builds up in feed hoppers, mixing chambers, and conveyor sections
  • Track packaging material usage and flag shortages to Supervisor before they stall the line
  • Report maintenance issues (mechanical wear, PLC faults, sensor errors) to Operating Leads immediately, not at end of shift
  • Follow GMP and Food Safety protocols on any shared lines, plus isocyanate-specific PPE and handling procedures (respirator, hazmat suit, gloves, safety glasses)
  • Maintain a defect/scrap rate at or below plant target through consistent slurry-mix and bonding-quality checks
  • Complete cross-training on at least one additional specialty machine and be able to run it without supervision
  • Contribute to reducing unplanned downtime tied to slurry buildup/clogging by following (and suggesting improvements to) the cleaning schedule
  • Support onboarding of new operators on assigned machines, including hands-on training on proper cleaning/mud-clearing technique to prevent equipment jams
Required Experience
  • 5+ years in a manufacturing environment, ideally with continuous-process or batch-mixing equipment
  • Hands-on comfort with manual, physically demanding labor: standing, bending, kneeling, lifting up to 50 lbs, shoveling/clearing material buildup
  • Basic computer literacy sufficient for PLC interfaces and digital production logs
  • High school diploma, GED, or equivalent work experience
  • Fluent spoken/written English sufficient for safety instructions and shift handoffs
Preferred Experience
  • Direct experience with PLCs and automated/robotic production equipment
  • Mechanical aptitude and machine setup/changeover experience
  • Exposure to slurry, binder, resin, or chemical-mix processes (isocyanate, polyurethane, or similar) — understands why containment and PPE compliance matter, not just that it's required
  • Valid forklift license
  • Prior experience training or leading other operators on a specialty machine
Work Environment
  • On-site only, St. Catharines, Ontario plant — not remote-eligible
  • Manufacturing floor environment: moderate-to-high noise, temperature swings, airborne dust/organic particulate
  • Required PPE: respirator, hazmat suit, safety glasses, gloves
  • Physically demanding: standing, bending, kneeling, climbing, lifting to 50 lbs, and manual clearing of mud/slurry buildup
  • Overtime required as production schedules demand
Benefits of Joining the Team
  • RRSP Employer Match Program
  • Health, Dental, and Vision Benefits
  • Employee Assistance Program
  • PPE Reimbursement Program
