To thrive in this role, you must have hands-on experience in milling pump systems and mixing raw materials. If you’ve ever baked a cake from scratch, you know it’s not just about tossing ingredients into a bowl; it’s about timing and technique. That’s exactly what this role is all about!

As our Batch Making Operator, you will be the baker for our coatings operation. Instead of flour and sugar, you’ll be blending chemicals and pigments with precision, following detailed “recipes” (formula tickets) to produce high-quality industrial coatings. Every batch you create needs to be consistent, safe, and ready to perform, just like a perfect cake that rises to the occasion.

Every day, you will handle crucial production tasks like operating pumps, valves, and a compactor with precision. You’ll keep things moving safely and efficiently, perform quality checks, and uphold a clean, organized workspace. Inventory tracking and documenting formula updates is a daily routine, along with working automated systems for raw materials and milling.

Required Skills:

• A completed High school education is required.

• You’re confident navigating basic computer systems, and if you have worked with SAP before, that’s a definite plus.

• A dedication to safety. We are very proud of our safety record and want you to partake in that.

• Responsibilities involve lifting individual paint cans or, at times, full cases containing four cans, which can weigh up to 75 lbs, several times throughout the day with or without reasonable accommodation.

Here is What We Offer You:

• Batch Making Operator starts at $23.50/hr. Team members will receive a $0.50/hr increase at 6 months of employment and another $0.50/hr increase at one year of employment.

• Any shift that starts from 12 PM or later (off-shifts) also receives a $3/hr shift differential.

• Quarterly and holiday bonuses are available.

• Accrue 15 paid days of vacation time off the first year plus 5 days of sick time off.

• 401(k) retirement plan with 4% match. Annual retirement profit-sharing payments

• Competitive health plans for individuals and families
