Candidates must differentiate between customer orders, set up the equipment, read and follow procedures, and utilize measuring tools (both meters and feet) to accurately coat and process the final product. Responsibilities include: loading and unloading jumbo rolls of film using a forklift, setting up and operating the film coating line, monitoring product quality and performing quality testing on each roll, keeping accurate records, responding to process alarms, maintaining equipment, and keeping the area clean. Candidate will use a computer to print labels and won't be exposed to any chemicals aside from alcohol for cleaning. Label finished product or teach assistants the labeling and packaging operation.

Smaller facility with 32 employees where there is a lot of tenure and never a lay-off. The least tenured person has been there 1 year, and after that, 9 years. There are two slitting Leads, one on each shift. Cleanroom and general manufacturing environment. The warehouse where product comes in and goes out may not be temperature controlled. One night shift opening 11-7:30am. The clean room is kept around 65-72 degrees, so it's always very comfortable in the facility. Lighting is blocked to prevent UV interaction with the film, so there is a yellow film over the lights, giving the room a more yellow tint.
