About the Role:
The Sr. Plastic Extrusion Technician operates, monitors, and maintains plastic extrusion equipment to produce high-quality plastic profiles, tubing, pipe, sheet, or other extruded products. This hands-on role ensures consistent product quality, efficient production, and adherence to safety and process standards in a manufacturing environment.
Essential Duties and Responsibilities
  • Monitor and optimize extrusion processes, including melt temperature, screw speed, haul-off speed, cooling, and dimensional control.
  • Troubleshoot common extrusion issues such as dimensional variations, surface defects, melt fracture, surging, and die swell. Set up, start up, operate, and shut down single-screw or twin-screw extruders and related downstream equipment (pullers, cutters, coolers, winders, etc.).
  • Perform material handling: load raw materials (pellets, regrind, additives), blend formulations as required, and manage material changes or purges.
  • Conduct in-process quality checks (dimensions, appearance, weight, wall thickness, ovality) using calipers, micrometers, laser gauges, or other measurement tools.
  • Troubleshoot common extrusion issues (surging, die lines, contamination, dimensional variation, melt fracture) and take corrective action or escalate as needed.
  • Perform routine preventive maintenance, die and tooling changes, screen pack changes, and basic equipment cleaning.
  • Follow all safety procedures, including lockout/tagout, PPE requirements, and proper handling of hot equipment and materials.
  • Accurately complete production logs, quality records, and shift reports.
  • Assist with process optimization, scrap reduction, and continuous improvement efforts.
  • Maintain a clean and organized work area in accordance with 5S or similar standards.

Required Qualifications
  • High school diploma or equivalent; technical training or associate degree in plastics, manufacturing, or related field preferred.
  • 2-4+ years of hands-on experience operating plastic extrusion equipment (profile, pipe, tubing, sheet, or film preferred).
  • Knowledge of extrusion process principles, temperature control, and material behavior of common resins (PVC, PE, PP, ABS, etc.).
  • Ability to read and interpret process sheets, work instructions, and basic technical drawings.
  • Mechanical aptitude and comfort using hand tools, measurement instruments, and basic troubleshooting techniques.
  • Strong attention to detail and ability to work independently or as part of a production team.
  • Willingness to work rotating shifts, overtime, and weekends as production demands require.
  • Ability to lift up to 50 lbs and stand for extended periods in a manufacturing environment.
  • Proficient in Microsoft Office (Word, Excel, Outlook) and basic ERP/MRP systems.
  • Ability to read and interpret technical drawings, blueprints, and work instructions.

Preferred Qualifications
  • Experience with specific extrusion processes relevant to the company's products (e.g., pipe, profile, medical tubing, or co-extrusion).
  • Familiarity with statistical process control (SPC), quality systems, or ISO standards.
  • Basic understanding of plastics material science or prior experience with material formulation/blending.
  • Forklift or powered industrial truck certification.
  • Bilingual (English/Spanish) is a plus.

Physical Requirements
  • Manufacturing floor environment with exposure to heat, noise, and moving equipment.
  • Requires standing, walking, bending, and occasional lifting.
  • Strict adherence to safety protocols is mandatory.
  • Willingness to work flexible shifts, including overtime, nights, and weekends when required.
