Requires working in a fast-paced manufacturing environment with exposure to machinery, chemicals, and varying temperatures and noise levels.
- Constant communication with employees, peers and management
- Overtime as required
- Frequent requirement of handling heavy equipment (operation)
- Frequent need to give concentrated attention to surroundings
Physical Demands
- Standing and Walking: The role requires standing and walking for extended periods, up to 8-12 hours per shift, depending on production demands.
- Lifting and Carrying: Must be able to lift and carry objects weighing up to [weight, e.g., 50 lbs.] regularly throughout the shift. Occasional lifting of heavier items may be required with assistance.
- Bending, Stooping, and Crouching: Frequent bending, stooping, crouching, and reaching are necessary to perform tasks such as machine operation, product assembly, and maintenance.
- Pushing and Pulling: The position involves pushing and pulling carts, tools, and materials weighing up to [weight, e.g., 100 lbs.], either manually or using appropriate equipment.
- Manual Dexterity: The ability to use hands and fingers to handle, control, or feel objects, tools, or controls with precision is required for operating machinery, assembling products, and performing maintenance.
- Climbing: Occasional climbing of ladders or steps to access equipment or storage areas may be required.
- Vision and Hearing: Adequate vision is necessary to read and interpret technical documents, operate equipment, and inspect products for quality. Adequate hearing is required to communicate effectively in a noisy environment and to be aware of machinery sounds for safety.
- Repetitive Motions: This job may involve repetitive hand, wrist, and arm motions during tasks such as assembling parts, operating equipment, or packaging products.
- Environmental Conditions: The role may require working in varying temperatures, including cold storage areas or areas where heat from machinery is present. Exposure to dust, chemicals, fumes, and loud noises is common in manufacturing environments, and appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) must be worn.
- Physical Stamina: The job requires maintaining high energy levels and physical stamina to keep up with the pace of production and meet performance targets
