Job description

Overview

Are you mechanically-minded? Do you like solving real-time problems, working with your hands, and being part of a fast-moving, high-stakes production environment?

This is a role for doers—not button-pushers.

We’re looking for a Tablet Filling Line (TFL) Operator to join our Primary Production team at Praxis Packaging. If you have experience in machine shops, manufacturing, or working with technical equipment - and like working where precision and process matter - you might be the right fit.

Praxis Packaging Solutionsis an FDA-compliant packaging organization specializing in primary tablet filling of OTC & Rx packaging with industry-best serialization capabilities.

Employees at Praxis are from all over the world, and diversity in the workplace is respected and celebrated. We offer two health insurance options, dental, vision, flex, and company paid short term disability, long term disability and life insurance. We invest in our employees and provide a 4% 401k employer match. Apply today if you are interested in joining a dynamic team in the pharma industry.

Responsibilities

What You'll Actually Do:

• Run complex packaging lines - not just monitor them

• Make machine adjustments on the fly for quality and efficiency

• Complete and review critical production documents with accuracy

• Keep materials stocked and line operations steady

• Coordinate cleans and ensure line clearance procedures are followed

• Work hands-on with equipment and troubleshoot mechanical hiccups

What It Takes:

This isn’t passive work. You’ll be moving, thinking, checking, adjusting, cleaning, troubleshooting - and doing it all while maintaining the highest standards of safety and quality.

Who This Job Isn’t For:

• People looking for an easy sit-down job

• Anyone who avoids hands-on work or mechanical tasks

• Those who don’t enjoy responsibility and independence on the floor

Qualifications

Skills and Experience You Bring:

• 1-3 years of experience working in fast-paced, detail-driven environments (machine operation, manufacturing, CNC, or tool & die a plus)

• Comfort using tools, adjusting equipment, and managing your own workflow

• Ability to read, follow, and complete technical instructions and documentation

• A problem-solving mindset and a steady hand under pressure

• High school diploma or equivalent.
• Able to read, understand, and carefully follow written operating and batch record instructions in English.
• Ability to perform basic mathematical operations (add, subtract, multiply, divide) carefully and accurately.

Ready to make things run like clockwork?
