• Remove scrap material from the line as needed and ensure it is properly documented and handled.
• Stack and organize finished products at the end of the line in a safe and efficient manner.
• Label finished products accurately according to production and shipping requirements.
• Operate production machinery under guidance, following established procedures and safety standards.
• Perform general labor tasks throughout the production area, including cleaning, organizing, and supporting other team members as needed.
• Operate a forklift as required (approximately 5% of the workday, and not necessarily every day) to move materials and finished products.
• Maintain accurate inventory control for completed bundles, including counting and verifying quantities.
• Correctly enter completed bundles into the system to ensure accurate production records.
• Complete physical scale logs and G-8 scrap logs accurately and legibly.
• Enter scale log data into the virtual scale log and other digital systems with a high level of accuracy.
• Follow all safety procedures and guidelines while working around machines, forklifts, and warehouse equipment.
• Communicate effectively with the extruder operator, supervisors, and team members to address issues and maintain production flow.

Essential Skills

• Experience performing general labor tasks in a production, warehouse, or manufacturing environment.
• Ability to support machine operation, including assisting extruder operators and working around plastics extrusion equipment.
• Basic understanding of quality assurance and quality control processes, including performing visual inspections and quality checks.
• Ability to safely remove scrap materials and maintain a clean and organized work area.
• Capability to stack, organize, and label finished products accurately and efficiently.
• Basic forklift operation skills or the ability and willingness to learn forklift operation for occasional use.
• Strong attention to detail for inventory control, including counting completed bundles and verifying quantities.
• Ability to accurately complete physical scale logs and G-8 scrap logs.
• Competence in entering data into computer systems, including virtual scale logs and production records.
• Ability to follow written and verbal instructions and adhere to established procedures and safety guidelines.

Additional Skills & Qualifications

• Previous experience with plastics extrusion or similar manufacturing processes is an advantage.
• Prior experience operating or assisting with machine operation in a production setting is beneficial.
• Experience using forklifts in a warehouse or manufacturing environment is preferred.
• Familiarity with inventory control systems and basic data entry software is helpful.
• Comfort working in a fast-paced production environment with changing tasks and priorities.
• Willingness to participate in training and learn new skills to progress into a machine operator role.

Why Work Here?

You will join a growing company that invests in training and internal promotion, offering a clear path from finisher to machine operator. The organization emphasizes developing talent from within, providing hands-on learning and growth opportunities as the company expands. You can build a long-term career while gaining practical experience in machine operation, quality control, and inventory management in a supportive environment.

Work Environment

The role is based in a large warehouse facility that supports plastics extrusion and related production activities. The building tends to be cooler during the winter months, so employees typically wear long sleeve shirts and jeans for comfort. Steel-toe footwear is not required for this position. You will work around production machinery, extrusion lines, and forklifts, performing general labor, machine assistance, and occasional forklift operation.
