Job Description

Our company is a leading manufacturer specializing in the production of high-quality coatings and chemical products. We pride ourselves on delivering excellence through innovation, precision, and a commitment to safety and quality. As a well-established entity in the manufacturing industry, we employ state-of-the-art technology and maintain strict adherence to environmental and safety guidelines to ensure our products meet the highest standards. Our production processes are designed to optimize efficiency while safeguarding the well-being of our employees and the environment. We offer structured training programs with step increases based on completed milestones and demonstrated proficiency, providing our team members with opportunities for professional growth and skill enhancement. The training duration may be adjusted depending on the candidate's prior experience, ensuring personalized development paths for all employees.

We are currently seeking a dedicated Mixing Operator to join our dynamic production team. This role is integral to the manufacturing process, involving the entire mixing procedure from the setup and operation of coating machines to rigorous quality control and basic maintenance tasks. The Mixing Operator is responsible for handling flammable solvents, resins, and solid chemicals in strict compliance with safety protocols, including the mandatory use of respirators as per OSHA standards. Candidates will be expected to set up and operate machinery according to production schedules and job specifications, monitor and adjust machine settings such as speed, temperature, and coating thickness, and perform equipment changeovers and material handling using forklifts, pallet jacks, and dollies.

Attention to detail is paramount, as the role requires conducting thorough quality inspections of coated materials to ensure adherence to established standards. Operators must maintain accurate production records and effectively communicate with other departments to facilitate smooth operations. Physically, the position demands the ability to perform tasks involving static pull strength up to 84 pounds, pushing loads up to 60 pounds, and lifting weights up to 50 pounds, as well as frequent climbing of steps and sustained periods of focus. Proficiency in basic computer skills for operating production software and maintaining digital documentation is also essential.

This is an excellent opportunity for individuals looking to grow their career in manufacturing, particularly those with prior experience in mixing operations or a background in similar industrial production environments. Our company fosters a culture of continuous improvement, encouraging employees to actively seek opportunities to optimize processes and enhance production efficiency. We are committed to providing a safe and supportive workplace where every team member can thrive and contribute to the success of our products and organization.
