Job Description

Job Description

Adhesive Coating Line Operator

Location: New Hartford, CT

Job Type: Full-Time

Shift: Night Shift (training on Day Shift 5AM–5PM)

A day in this role

As the production floor comes to life, you’ll take ownership of an adhesive coating line, preparing materials and dialing in the process so every roll meets spec. You’ll move from staging adhesive batches to setting up slot-die, gravure, or roll coaters, then fine-tune speed, heat, and coating thickness to hit targets. Throughout your shift, you’ll watch the web closely—catching streaks, bubbles, or uneven coverage early—while keeping detailed batch and usage records. You’ll finish each run by cleaning down equipment, performing basic preventive maintenance, and resetting the area so the next job starts strong and safe.

Core responsibilities
  • Set up, operate, and monitor slot-die, gravure, and roll coating machines
  • Stage, prepare, and handle adhesive materials per formulas and specifications
  • Adjust line parameters (speed, temperature, coating weight/thickness) to meet quality standards
  • Inspect coated product continuously to identify defects (streaks, bubbles, uneven coating, etc.)
  • Carry out routine cleaning and basic preventative maintenance
  • Troubleshoot minor process/equipment issues and escalate major problems
  • Complete production logs, batch records, and material usage documentation accurately
  • Follow all safety procedures, including chemical handling and proper PPE use
  • Keep the work area organized and audit-ready
Qualifications
  • High school diploma or GED
  • 1+ year in coating, laminating, converting, or related manufacturing preferred
  • Mechanical aptitude with basic troubleshooting capability
  • Comfort reading work orders, specifications, and Safety Data Sheets (SDS)
  • Strong attention to detail and quality mindset
  • Team-oriented with clear communication skills
  • Able to train on Day Shift (5AM–5PM)
Proficiencies
  • Driver's License
  • Hazardous Materials
  • Equipment Troubleshooting
  • Tape Measure Reading
  • High School / GED
  • Shop Math Skills
  • Web Offset Printing
  • Basic Computer Skills
Machines & technologies you’ll use
  • Liquid Fill Pumps and Equipment
  • Slitter Machine
  • Gluer Machine

This is a hands-on position in a fast-paced manufacturing environment where consistency, safety, and documentation drive success.
