Converting Operations Technician — Metal-Based Laminates

Pay: $25.33/hour. Benefits (medical, dental, vision) start on Day 1.

What your day looks like

You arrive to a clean, safety-first production floor and review the prior shift’s notes. After a quick equipment check, you bring the laminating and slitting lines up to speed, verifying yardage, cut widths, and material weights match spec. You stage rolls with a forklift, swap adhesive drums, and execute roll splices per SOPs to minimize downtime. Throughout the day you log production orders and raw material usage, run lab checks, and flag defects to protect quality. When the line pauses, you tidy work areas to GMP standards, sweep, organize tools, and remove packaging waste. Before handoff, you brief the next operator so the transition is seamless.
