A day in the life

You arrive, gear up with steel-toed boots, safety glasses, and hearing protection, and step onto a fast-paced manufacturing floor where heat, noise, and moving equipment keep you alert. Your shift kicks off at the glass fiber line: you collect material, monitor machines, and keep product flowing to meet visual, weight, and packaging specifications. When a jam happens, you clear it safely and get production back on track. Between runs, you label bales, seal them tight, record key data, and move finished product using a hydraulic lift truck (training provided). During scheduled downtime, you help with maintenance and cleanup so the next run starts clean and safe. Throughout the shift, you follow written and verbal directions, collaborate with teammates, and uphold safety, environmental, and ISO quality procedures.

• Operate machinery to collect, compress, bind, and package glass fiber products
