ADDBAC is seeking an experienced Compo under to prepare and maintain consistent compounds used in carpet-coating production. This hands-on position requires accurate measurement, strict adherence to formulas, reliable quality checks, and safe handling of raw materials.

Direct compounding experience is required; carpet-coating or latex-compounding experience is strongly preferred. We need someone who understands the mixing process, can identify inconsistencies, and takes ownership of batch accuracy and production readiness.

Prepare compounds according to approved formulas, batch instructions, and production requirements.

Identify and verify raw materials before use.

Accurately weigh, measure, and add ingredients in the required sequence.

Operate assigned mixing, pumping, and transfer equipment according to approved procedures.

Monitor mixing times and specified batch characteristics to maintain consistency.

Perform and document required quality checks, such as viscosity, pH, or solids testing, as specified by the formula and quality procedures.

Make only authorized formula or batch adjustments; report out-of-specification results before releasing material to production.

Coordinate with coating-line employees to provide the correct compound in the quantity and timeframe needed.

Maintain accurate batch records, raw-material usage, lot identification, and test results.

Monitor material inventory and promptly report shortages, labeling issues, or unsuitable materials.

Follow Safety Data Sheets, labeling requirements, chemical-handling procedures, and required PPE practices.

Report spills, leaks, equipment defects, and unsafe conditions immediately; respond only within the limits of training and authorization.

Clean equipment and work areas using approved procedures, including required energy isolation.

Never bypass guards or access moving mixers or other hazardous equipment.

Maintain orderly material storage and prevent contamination or unintended mixing.

Previous hands-on experience in industrial compounding or batch mixing.

Ability to follow formulas, mixing sequences, and written production instructions accurately.

Strong basic math skills, including weights, measurements, and batch calculations.

Experience recognizing and reporting inconsistent or out-of-specification batches.

Working knowledge of safe chemical handling, labeling, and PPE practices.

Accurate documentation, dependable attendance, and strong attention to detail.

Ability to work independently after completing site-specific training and authorization.

Direct experience compounding latex or carpet-coating materials.

Experience performing viscosity, pH, solids, or similar batch-quality tests.

Familiarity with mixing tanks, pumps, and material-transfer systems.

Work takes place in a manufacturing environment and involves standing, walking, bending, reaching, and handling raw materials. Appropriate lifting equipment or team assistance must be used for heavy or awkward materials. Required PPE must be worn. Candidates must be able to perform essential job functions, with or without reasonable accommodation.

ADDBAC is an equal opportunity employer.
