About The Position

As a Machine/Filling Operator with Behr, you will learn to operate across multiple production lines and assist wherever needed. At the beginning of each workday, you will be assigned to a production line. On a solo line, you will oversee filling and case-packing; on a dual-operator line, you and a partner will divide those roles. You will inspect products and remove items with issues such as misprinted labels, improperly fitted lids, or loose case flaps. You will periodically pull cans to weigh them and verify the filling equipment is meeting weight parameters. Other duties include changing over between paints, keeping the cardboard case machine supplied, and assisting coworkers as needed.

Previous manufacturing or paint experience is not required; Behr provides training. Operators are expected to have excellent attendance, commit to safety, wear required safety equipment including steel-toed shoes, and be eager to learn and grow. The job requires standing for the entire shift and lifting individual paint cans or cases of four cans weighing up to 50 pounds several times a day. A high school diploma or GED is required.

The listed starting wage is $21.50 per hour. Team members receive a $0.50-per-hour increase after six months and another $0.50-per-hour increase after one year. Quarterly and holiday bonuses are available. Behr directs candidates to its careers website for a comprehensive list of benefits and perks.
