  • Willingness to learn and grow into a skilled operator role
  • Ability to read, write, and communicate effectively
  • Attention to detail and commitment to quality
  • Basic computer skills
  • Prior manufacturing or extrusion experience preferred, but not required

Pay, Growth & Stability
  • Competitive hourly pay based on experience
  • Paid training with experienced operators
  • Clear career progression: Trainee → Extrusion Operator
  • Stable manufacturing environment with long-term career opportunities
