Job Description

Summary

The Set-Up Operator prepares and adjusts downstream production equipment, including shears, roll winders, the Menzel, silicone applicators, Corona treaters, and Maxson sheeters, to work-order specifications.

  • Set and verify Corona treater gaps and wattage to work-order specifications; inspect electrode alignment and treatment consistency; coordinate dyne testing with Quality Control (QC) when required.
  • Safely change and install Maxson blades; set blade widths and sheet lengths to work-order requirements, and adjust belt speed, air knives, pull-roll air pressure, and tension for accurate cuts and clean stacking.
  • Prepare equipment for startup; route initial trim and scrap properly, keep startup scrap out of finished pallets, and verify pallets, slip sheets, and labels are staged before full-speed production.
  • Perform periodic QC checks, identify downstream sheet defects, and make authorized adjustments to limit waste.
  • Communicate equipment issues, defects, and adjustments to Extruder Operators, QC, and teammates; document key details at shift handoff.
  • Clean Corona rolls and electrodes using approved procedures; remove polymer buildup, scrap, and debris; keep the work area orderly.
  • Follow lockout/tagout and blade-handling procedures, use required PPE, and report unsafe conditions and near misses immediately.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
