Job Description
Job Description Description: As a Pelletizer Operator, you will be a key player in our closed-loop manufacturing process, converting plastic regrind into uniform pellets suitable for downstream applications like injection molding, blow molding, and extrusion.
Role and Responsibilities / Essential Functions Forklift Operation: Safely operate sit-down forklifts to streamline the loading and unloading of gaylords and other bulk material containers. Pelletizer Operation: Conduct end-to-end pelletizing processes by feeding regrind material into the pelletizer, ensuring effective melting, shaping, and cooling phases to produce high-quality pellets. Data Entry: Perform real-time data tracking for inventory management and material-flow optimization. Machine Maintenance: Perform preventative maintenance activities, such as filter changes and machine lubrication, to ensure the long-term reliability and efficiency of the pelletizer. Material Management: Conduct material transitions and maintain a comprehensive daily log of key production metrics like regrind consumption and pellet output. Labeling: Generate and affix precise labels to material batches and finished products, ensuring traceability. Quality Control: Implement QC protocols to monitor pellet uniformity and other quality metrics, initiating corrective actions when deviations occur. Attendance: Uphold consistent attendance to ensure seamless production cycles and maximize throughput. Safety Compliance: Adhere to strict safety protocols, including PPE requirements, to mitigate operational risks in a high-temperature, fast-paced environment. Additional Responsibilities: Foster a culture of continuous improvement by actively participating in training sessions, reporting anomalies, and embracing organizational initiatives for quality enhancement.
Requirements: Required Skills / Abilities / Competencies High School Diploma or equivalent Forklift operation experience is highly desirable. 1-2 years of Machine Operator experience, preferably in plastics manufacturing Proficiency in basic math and metric system measurements Authorization to work in the U.S. Education and Experience High School Diploma or GED Mental/Physical Requirement Capacity to lift, push, or pull up to 50 lbs. unassisted. Stamina to stand throughout the entire shift. Comfortability working in elevated heat conditions.
