A well-established global manufacturing organization is seeking Machine Operators to join its production team at a clean, temperature-controlled manufacturing and distribution facility in North-Central Indiana.
This is a hands-on manufacturing position operating high-speed automated converting and winding equipment. Operators will be responsible for loading raw materials, monitoring equipment, inspecting finished products, stacking and packaging materials, and performing basic preventive maintenance.

* Monitor the winding and converting process to ensure equipment is operating properly.
* Remove, stack, package, and organize finished products.
* Perform visual inspections and dimensional checks to verify product quality.
* Use calipers, tape measures, and other basic measuring devices to ensure products meet specifications.
* Identify and correct minor equipment issues to minimize production downtime.
* Perform basic preventive maintenance, including cleaning equipment, lubricating components, clearing material jams, and addressing minor roller or bearing issues.
* Make basic machine adjustments as necessary to maintain production and quality standards.
* Maintain a clean and organized work area.
* Accurately complete required production and quality documentation.
* Follow all plant safety, quality, and operating procedures.
* Cross-train on additional equipment and production processes as needed.
What We're Looking For
* 6+ months of manufacturing, production, or machine operating experience preferred.
* Experience operating high-speed or high-volume manufacturing equipment is strongly preferred.
* Mechanical aptitude and willingness to troubleshoot basic machine issues.
* Experience performing basic preventive maintenance on production equipment is a plus.
* Comfortable using basic hand tools and measuring equipment such as calipers and tape measures.
* Ability to work in a fast-paced manufacturing environment.
* Strong attention to detail and commitment to producing quality products.
* Willingness to learn new equipment and cross-train in different areas.
* Dependable attendance and ability to work a consistent schedule.
* Ability to remain on your feet throughout the shift and perform repetitive physical activities including walking, lifting, twisting, bending, and stacking materials.
Work Environment:
This position is located in a clean, organized, and temperature-controlled manufacturing facility. While much of the production equipment is automated, operators remain actively involved throughout the process.
