• Maintaining a clean, organized and safe work area
• Following established operating procedures, safety requirements and production standards
• Working closely with experienced operators, adjusters, supervisors and maintenance personnel
• Developing a practical understanding of machine components, settings and operating conditions

As you gain experience and demonstrate technical ability, you will be expected to take on greater responsibility for machine operation, setup, adjustments and troubleshooting.
