About The Position

Grow your career with Schwan Cosmetics, where our structured Technician development program helps you continuously expand your manufacturing expertise. Through progressive learning across Technician I, II, and III roles, you'll develop a strong foundation in safety, quality, operations, and equipment performance that prepares you for Technician IV responsibilities.

As a Line Technician III at Schwan Cosmetics USA, you will directly operate and troubleshoot high-speed light-industrial manufacturing equipment.

• Strong basic math skills (addition, subtraction, multiplication, division) and fluency in English (read, write, speak).
• High School Diploma or GED equivalent.
• Self-starter with high attention to detail, strong problem-solving skills, and a team-first attitude.

Responsibilities

• Independently operate complex, machine-paced cosmetic production lines.
• Perform real-time troubleshooting and basic maintenance to fix downtime and mechanical issues.

• Train Level I and II Line Technicians to ensure smooth line flow.
