Job summary

Calyx Containers LLC in Salt Lake City, UT is hiring for a Night Shift Pouch Machine Operator. You will set up, run, and troubleshoot a pouch-making line, ensure quality, and hand off finished pouches that meet specs. This role is Operator II from day one and pays with a night differential.

You will own changeovers, maintain registration and seal quality, and record run data. Growth to Operator III is expected with certification on additional equipment and independent troubleshooting.

Qualifications

• 1+ year operating a pouch-making machine, bag machine, or similar flexible packaging converting equipment.
• Experience on SunCentre pouching machine or similar.
• Ability to perform a full machine changeover without supervision.
• Ability to work night shift and/or weekends.
• Comfort reading a job ticket and spec sheet, and working with a tape measure or calipers.
• Accurate record-keeping of run and quality data.
• Physically able to stand through a full shift and lift up to 50 lbs, with roll handling assisted by equipment.
• Reliable attendance.

Responsibilities

• Setup and changeover, unassisted. Load film, set seal temperatures, dwell, and pressure, set up zippers, punches, and cut, and get to first good pouch fast.
• Running the job. Hold registration, seal quality, and dimensions across the full run, and keep production moving to the schedule.
• Quality checks. Verify seal integrity, dimensions, zipper function, and print-to-cut registration throughout the run.
• Troubleshooting. Diagnose and correct common problems - weak or wrinkled seals, registration drift, zipper misalignment, film tracking - before they become scrap or a call for help.
• Documentation. Record run data, counts, downtime, and quality checks completely, so day shift picks up exactly where you left off.
• Material and waste discipline. Track film usage, minimize setup waste and scrap, and report yield honestly.
• Machine care. Daily cleaning and operator-level preventive maintenance. Escalate real problems early instead of running through them.
• Safety. Follow lockout/tagout, guarding, and PPE requirements without shortcuts, every shift.
