We are seeking Process Operators to support a batch-based manufacturing operation producing highly engineered materials. This is a hands-on, process-driven role where success comes from attention to detail, consistency, and the ability to follow structured procedures while managing multiple steps in a production cycle.

In this role, you will operate and monitor a variety of equipment, collect and log process data, and ensure product quality throughout each stage of production. You will be expected to stay engaged with your process, perform regular checks, and respond to changes in real time to keep operations running efficiently. This is not a repetitive assembly role, it requires awareness, accountability, and the ability to think through the process.

You will be working in an environment that combines controlled and non-controlled conditions, with exposure to industrial equipment such as kilns, ovens, mixers, and mills. The operation values reliability, strong work habits, and individuals who are willing to learn and grow within a structured production setting.
