Role Overview
Kodak is looking for Coating Operators to join our team in Kodak's Advanced Materials and Chemicals Division in Rochester, NY.

Operators use precisely engineered processes to prepare all materials used in coating, including solvents, dyes, and light-sensitive emulsions. Experience dealing with large quantities of chemicals and understanding chemical Safety Data Sheets is helpful.
Quality: Our coated products are of the highest quality in the world. Operators inspect freshly coated film products for imperfections in structure or sensitivity that would affect their functionality and salability. A background in science may be helpful.
