You’ll work on a complex production line that involves  polymer handling, heating, extrusion, cooling, bonding, and roll-based material processing , where small adjustments can have a major impact on product quality, efficiency, and uptime. This role sits at the intersection of  operations, maintenance, and process improvement , making it ideal for technicians who like to understand why a process behaves the way it does — not just how to run it.

Ideal candidates are detail-oriented, process-minded technicians with experience in  plastics, extrusion, injection molding, blown film, textiles, or other continuous manufacturing environments .

  • Advanced Troubleshooting – Diagnose and resolve mechanical, electrical, and process-related issues; distinguish between equipment failures and process-driven defects.
  • Preventive Maintenance & Calibration – Perform routine inspections, adjustments, minor repairs, and calibration activities to minimize downtime and ensure consistent operation.
  • Quality Assurance & Documentation – Perform in-process quality checks, verify conformance to specifications, document results, and support traceability and compliance requirements.
  • Data Analysis & Process Optimization – Enter production data, analyze trends, and recommend parameter changes or process improvements to improve yield, reduce waste, and stabilize output.
  • Cross-Functional Collaboration – Work closely with maintenance, engineering, and production teams to implement long-term corrective actions for recurring issues.
  • Continuous Improvement Support – Participate in waste reduction, efficiency improvements, standard work development, and process standardization efforts.
  • Operator Training & Support – Train and mentor operators on proper equipment operation, basic troubleshooting, quality checks, and safe work practices.
  • Safety, 5S & Compliance – Maintain clean and organized work areas, follow SOPs and safety protocols, and support a strong safety culture in a high-temperature, industrial environment.

Requirements

  • Experience – 5+ years in a manufacturing environment as a process technician, lead operator, or senior machine operator.
  • Process Aptitude – Strong understanding of thermally driven or continuous processes involving heating, cooling, material flow, and bonding.
  • Mechanical Skills– Ability to troubleshoot mechanical issues, make adjustments, and support minor repairs or component replacements.
  • Problem Solving – Proven ability to identify root causes, analyze data, and make sound decisions under production conditions.
  • Attention to Detail – Strong quality mindset with the ability to maintain tight tolerances and consistent output.
  • Schedule Flexibility– Willing to work rotating shifts, weekends, and holidays as scheduled.
  • Pre-Employment Requirements – Ability to pass a drug screen and background check.

Preferred

  • Education – Associate degree, technical certification, or trade school training in manufacturing, industrial technology, or a related field.
  • Industry Background – Experience in plastics, extrusion, injection molding, blown film, textiles, fibers, or other continuous-process manufacturing.
