Night Machine Operator - Glue Production (2-2-3 Schedule | $20 - $25/hr)



A top-tier manufacturing facility in Mitchell, SD is hiring full-time Glue Operator to join their growing night-shift team.

Step up your manufacturing career. Instead of a basic labor role, you will take ownership of advanced high-speed gluing and folding machinery, earning a premium wage with an excellent schedule.

Why This Job Stands Out

• Top Pay: Earn $20.00 to $25.00 per hour depending on your mechanical or machine operating experience.
• More Days Off: The 2-2-3 rotating schedule means you only work 15 days a month and get a 3-day weekend every other week!
• Steady Night Hours: Work 5:45 PM to 6:00 AM without flipping your sleep schedule back and forth.
• Skill Advancement: We train you on high-tech machinery, making you a highly valuable specialist in the local market.
• Full Benefits: Access medical, dental, vision, and retirement plans through our agency.

What You Will Do

• Run the Line: Set up, operate, and troubleshoot high-speed folding and gluing machinery.
• Manage Materials: Monitor and adjust glue application levels and machine speeds for perfect precision.
• Perform Changeovers: Switch out parts and adjust machine settings when production runs change.
• Quality Control: Check finished packaging products frequently to ensure glue lines and folds meet strict standards.
• Lead by Example: Coordinate with feeders and packers on your line to maintain a smooth flow.

What We Look For

• Mechanical Aptitude: Experience operating complex machines or a strong talent for working with mechanical tools.
• Stamina: Ability to lift up to 50 pounds and stand for 12-hour shifts.
• Sharp Eye for Detail: Ability to spot tiny flaws in alignment or adhesive application quickly.
• Reliability: Excellent attendance is a must to keep the production line running.
• Experience: Previous hands-on experience running production machines. If not, we will train the right mechanical candidate.
