• Assist in creating, updating, and maintaining standard operating procedures (SOPs) and other production-related documentation.
• Perform inventory data entry accurately to track materials, finished goods, and production output.
• Cross-train into other job functions as needed to support overall production operations and maintain workflow.
• Attend departmental, production, safety, and company meetings on a routine basis and actively participate in discussions and initiatives.
• Follow all safety procedures, including lockout/tagout when applicable, to ensure a safe working environment.
• Troubleshoot basic machine issues and escalate more complex problems as needed to minimize downtime.
• Support machine setup and changeovers to meet different production requirements and product specifications.
• Maintain a clean and organized work area, recognizing that working with rubber manufacturing processes may result in getting dirty.
• Work assigned shifts, including first, second, or third shift, and be available for 1–2 Saturdays per month as required by production demands.

• Familiarity with overhead crane operation.
• Knowledge of lockout/tagout procedures and safe energy control practices.

Employees benefit from a comprehensive benefits package that supports both health and financial well-being, including medical coverage through a major provider, dental coverage, and vision benefits. A 401(k) plan with up to a 4% company match encourages long-term financial planning and savings. Team members enjoy 8 paid holidays and accrue paid time off at a rate of 2.46 hours per pay period, supporting work-life balance and time away from work. The organization emphasizes a strong company culture and an organized facility, offering stability and opportunities for cross-training and skill development.

This position is based in a rubber manufacturing facility within the conversion department. The environment is not climate controlled, so it can become warm during the summer and cool during the winter. While the facility is organized and not considered excessively dirty, working with rubber manufacturing processes means employees should expect to get somewhat dirty while operating machinery and handling materials. The facility has a strong company culture and emphasizes organization and safety. Employees operate machinery such as reroller and peeler machines and use a sit-down forklift, with potential exposure to overhead cranes and lockout/tagout procedures. The role includes one 20-minute paid lunch break per shift, and smoke breaks are not permitted. Available shifts include first shift (for example, approximately 6:45 a.m. to 3:00 p.m.) and second shift (for example, approximately 2:45 p.m. to 11:00 p.m.), with the expectation of working 1–2 Saturdays per month depending on production needs. Dress and personal appearance should be suitable for an industrial environment where contact with rubber and machinery is routine.
