  • Quality Inspections:
    Inspect finished packages regularly for proper seals, clear code dates, correct weights, and accurate labelling.
  • Troubleshooting:
    Make minor mechanical adjustments and troubleshoot basic machine errors or jams to minimize downtime.

    Strong basic math skills (calculating quantities, reading measurements) and the ability to strictly follow written work instructions.
  • Physical Demands:
    Ability to stand for extended periods, lift up to 40 lbs, and bend or reach as needed to load materials.
