• Keep powder, chemicals, and other production materials properly stocked and organized.
• Maintain accurate production records, including batch information, production times, and equipment/process issues.
• Follow all safety, quality, and environmental procedures.
• Identify opportunities to reduce waste, improve efficiency, and enhance finished-product quality.
• Work closely with the production team to keep the line running efficiently and minimize downtime.

Schedule Monday–Thursday | 5:00 AM–3:30 PM
