𝗪𝗵𝗼 𝘁𝗵𝗿𝗶𝘃𝗲𝘀 𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲

- Hands-on mechanics who like owning a line, running it and keeping it running, not waiting for a work order

- People who are comfortable with precision work, close tolerances, micrometers, dial indicators, and calipers

- Troubleshooters who stay calm when a high-speed line goes down and get it back up fast

If you want a desk, or you would rather run one machine and call someone else when it breaks, this is not the role.

𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗢𝗣𝗣𝗢𝗥𝗧𝗨𝗡𝗜𝗧𝗬

You will operate and maintain a high-speed coater line, owning it end to end: set-ups, change-overs, wash-ups, and the mechanical repairs that keep it producing. You are the first line of response when something goes wrong, and you work with quality and management to keep the line running clean and fast.
