shift, ensuring high‑quality contour cuts of vinyl skins and strict registration accuracy. This on-site position emphasizes reliability and cross-training across cutting and finishing processes.

Qualifications

• Mechanically inclined and comfortable operating production equipment.
• Attention to detail, particularly on alignment and registration.
• Follow written processes accurately without close supervision.
• Able to use basic computer systems and barcode scanning.
• Able to move material rolls and sheets.
• Reliable attendance and timekeeping on a fixed shift.
• Willingness to cross-train across cutting, lamination and printing.

Responsibilities

• Flatbed Cutting: Operate Summa flatbed cutters for high precision contour cutting of vinyl skins.
• Flatbed Cutting: Run multiple beds concurrently, keeping machines loaded and cutting.
• Flatbed Cutting: Load and align laminated sheets, and verify registration before every run.
• Flatbed Cutting: Select and run the correct cut file against the manufacturing order and product.
• Flatbed Cutting: Identify and correct registration drift, blade depth, and material feed issues.
• Flatbed Cutting: Escalate faults that require service rather than continuing to run on a compromised machine.

• Lamination: Match laminate to material per the bill of materials.
• Lamination: Monitor output for bubbles, wrinkles, debris and edge lift, and correct at source.

• Production System Discipline: Work manufacturing orders in the priority order set by morning planning.
• Production System Discipline: Never leave an open work order on a machine.
• Production System Discipline: Bin completed product to the correct location.
• Production System Discipline: Understand that reporting, capacity planning and out-of-stock response all depend on this data being right. Guessing timestamps isn’t a shortcut — it’s sabotage with extra steps.
• Maintenance and Housekeeping: Perform daily and weekly cleaning on cutters and laminators.
• Maintenance and Housekeeping: Change blades, maintain cutting mats, and replace consumables.
• Maintenance and Housekeeping: Log maintenance activity and report equipment issues promptly.
• Maintenance and Housekeeping: Keep work areas and material staging organized.
