Position Summary:
We are seeking motivated and mechanically inclined Machine Operator to join our manufacturing team.

- Assist with troubleshooting equipment issues and identifying root causes of mechanical problems.
- Work closely with maintenance personnel to understand repairs and machine operation.
- Conduct routine inspections, cleaning, lubrication, and preventative maintenance tasks.
- Read and follow production schedules, work instructions, and quality standards.
- Ensure compliance with all safety, quality, and housekeeping requirements.
- Accurately record production data and downtime information.
- Continuously develop technical knowledge of equipment and manufacturing processes.
Qualifications:
- High school diploma or GED required.
- Must have previous machine operating, automotive technician or electrical experience.
- Strong mechanical aptitude and desire to learn industrial equipment operation.
- Ability to troubleshoot problems and think critically.
- Comfortable working with older machinery that requires hands-on adjustments and mechanical understanding.
- Ability to use hand tools, measuring devices, and basic shop equipment.
- Dependable attendance and strong work ethic.
- Ability to work independently and as part of a team.
Physical Requirements:
- Ability to stand for extended periods during scheduled shifts.
- Ability to lift up to 50 pounds occasionally.
- Frequent bending, twisting, reaching, and walking.
- Ability to work in a manufacturing environment with moving machinery, noise, and varying temperatures.
