Job description

Senior Production Operator - Blending & Extrusion | $25-$33/hr | Temp-to-Perm | Norwalk, OH

Overview

Mural Group is partnering with a global specialty polymer and material science manufacturer to fill Senior Production Operator openings at their Norwalk, Ohio facility. This is a temp-to-perm opportunity with a stable, well-established manufacturer. The right person comes in, performs, and earns a permanent position with full company benefits.

We have openings on two shifts:

• 2nd Shift: Monday through Thursday, 1:00 PM to 11:30 PM (possible Friday OT)
• 3rd Shift: Monday night through Thursday night, 7:00 PM to 5:30 AM (possible Sunday OT)

Both shifts are 10-hour, 4-day schedules. You work four days and you are off three. Every week.

What You Will Be Doing

This is not an entry-level role. As a Senior Production Operator, you own your area of the production floor. You will set up, start, and operate blending and extrusion equipment to produce specialty polymer compounds and colorant products to customer specifications. You will weigh and measure ingredients to meet recipe specifications, monitor production and equipment during the run, and troubleshoot processing issues at the first level before escalating. You will complete all required SAP transactions, production logs, and end-of-shift documentation accurately, and participate in training new operators on processes and procedures. ISO and EH&S compliance is a standard expectation, not an afterthought.

What You Bring

• 3+ years of experience in blending, mixing, or extrusion operations in a plastics, polymer, colorant, or specialty chemical manufacturing environment
• Hands-on machine setup and startup experience - you run the equipment, you do not just load it
• SAP experience: production transactions, batch records, shift documentation
• Active forklift operator certification
• Comfortable in a PPE-required chemical manufacturing environment
• Ability to lift up to 55 lbs frequently and handle up to 250 lbs occasionally
• High school diploma or GED

What the Role Offers

• $25.00 to $33.00 per hour depending on experience
• 10-hour shifts, 4 days a week - Mon through Thu, the rest of the week is yours
• Temp-to-perm pathway with a Fortune 500 specialty materials manufacturer
• PPE and safety equipment provided
