SPECIAL DEMANDS/RESPONSIBILITIES:  Must perform all duties in a safe manner.  Must perform other departmental duties as assigned by supervisor.  Must handle and move material without damage.  Must be able to read a tape measure to 1/32 of an inch.  Must be able to be trained in weaving machine operation and capable of learning to operate tie-in machines efficiently.  Must understand basic mechanical skills and be able to apply these skills to the job.  Must be able to work overtime as scheduled or assigned.  

SUPERVISION RECEIVED:  Will receive direct supervision from shift supervisor and or team leader.  

ACCEPTABLE EDUCATION:  Prefer a High School Diploma or GED.  Currently assessed at the 8th grade equivalency or higher on the Test of Adult Basic Education (TABE) exam through our Continuous Education and Development (CED) program or have an appropriate WorkKeys score based on the job profile.  

ACCEPTABLE TRAINING AND EXPERIENCE:  Prefer 12 months previous work experience in a manufacturing or heavy industrial environment.  Prefer 6 months loom operator experience.  Prefer knowledge of weaving operations.  

CERTIFICATES AND LICENSES REQUIRED:  Will have or can obtain certification to operate material handling equipment and Lockout/Tagout certification.  

PHYSICAL DEMANDS:  Ability to push, pull, front carry, horizontal lift, floor to waist lift using correct lifting procedures.  Ability to lift sedentary (occasionally), light (occasionally), medium (occasionally), heavy (occasionally) and very heavy (occasionally) materials using correct lifting procedures.  Ability to stand, walk, bend, kneel, crouch and flex trunk frequently.  Must have 20/35 or correctable vision in each eye.  Must conform to all safety procedures and wear steel-toed shoes.
