The Manufacturing Operator I is responsible for safely operating and monitoring production equipment while ensuring compliance with operating procedures, food safety requirements, quality standards, and company policies. This role requires a strong understanding of equipment operation, production processes, product quality standards, and overall line performance.

Operators run and monitor automated production equipment, including systems controlled by Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs) and other computerized technologies. They must understand control panel functions, operating sequences, standard operating procedures, and basic troubleshooting techniques to maintain efficient production and minimize downtime.

This position requires an understanding of how equipment and processes work together throughout the production line. Operators monitor production flow, identify bottlenecks or performance issues, and make adjustments to support efficiency while maintaining product quality and food safety standards.

Manufacturing Operator I employees troubleshoot equipment and process issues, perform assigned preventive maintenance activities, and partner with Maintenance personnel to resolve mechanical problems. They are responsible for communicating equipment concerns, process deviations, and operational issues to Supervisors, Shift Leaders, Team Leaders, and Mechanics.

Operators are also responsible for monitoring applicable Critical Control Points (CCPs) and Preventive Controls to ensure compliance with food safety requirements. These controls may include: cook times and temperatures, metal detection systems, canning requirements, cooling processes, barcode verification, line clearances, sanitation procedures, product traceability, and material usage controls.

In addition, operators clean and sanitize production equipment following each production run. Equipment may include holding kettles, fillers, displacers, seamers, can washers, and conveyor systems. Operators perform Clean-in-Place (CIP) procedures, maintain equipment cleanliness, comply with environmental monitoring requirements, and accurately complete all required documentation and records.
