Setup Operator

Who this is for: This role is built for someone who enjoys working with their hands, understands how machines work, and takes pride in setting up equipment the right way—not just the fast way.

What You’ll Do Set up and change over wire binding machines to meet production specs and deadlines Work independently and alongside a small team (1–2 others) to keep jobs moving efficiently Read job specifications and ensure machines are dialed in for accuracy and quality Troubleshoot setup issues and make real-time adjustments to keep production on track Hit setup time targets based on production schedules (BOM-driven) What You Bring Hands-on mechanical experience (manufacturing, automotive, construction, or similar) Confidence using hand and power tools (pliers, drills, nail/staple guns, etc.) Ability to read measurements, work with fractions, and understand dimensions/tolerances Basic understanding of how machines operate (mechanical and/or hydraulic systems) Ability to read job specs or blueprints and translate them into machine setup Reliable transportation and consistent attendance Bonus if you’ve run or set up production machinery before—but not required if you’re mechanically sharp and quick to learn. What Makes You Successful Here You don’t wait to be told what’s wrong—you spot issues and fix them You stay calm and adapt when schedules or priorities shift You communicate clearly with your team to keep things moving You show up consistently and are open to overtime when production demands it Why This Role Stands Out Small team environment—your work directly impacts production Hands-on, active role (not stuck behind a desk) Opportunity to build real mechanical and machine setup skills #J-18808-Ljbffr
