Finisher/ Making Operator

Position summary

Finish the boot: heel nail, edge trim, seal, ink, and inspect to the cosmetic standard.

Essential functions

• Operate your assigned station: heel nailing, edge trimming, sealing, inking, or inspection and tacking.
• Match the finish to the approved sample. Verify color and sheen across the pair before release.
• Trim, burnish and dress the edge to the profile without cutting into the welt.
• Pull and flag any pair with a cosmetic defect, a proud nail, a trim gouge or a color mismatch.
• Maintain finish materials: stir, thin and store to specification, and log lot numbers.
• Keep the booth, the gun and your station clean. A dirty gun is a color defect waiting to happen.
