Machine Operator, 2nd Shift

Behr Paint CompanySanta Ana, CA
Onsite

About The Position

To thrive as a Machine/Filling Operator with Behr, you must be eager to learn. You don’t need any previous experience or knowledge about paint or manufacturing, although it’s a bonus. We’ll teach you everything you need to know, which makes this a perfect starting point to launch your career. You’ll cross-train on multiple lines so you are able to assist with any role on any line that needs help. At the start of each workday, you’ll be assigned to one of the production lines. If working on a solo line, you’ll oversee filling and case-packing. If it’s a dual-operator line, you and a partner will do each role. If you see anything that looks off, you will pull the item. This can be a can or box label with a misprint, a lid that isn’t on properly, a cardboard case with a loose flap, or any number of other things. You will also periodically pull cans to weigh them and make sure the filling equipment is working to our weight parameters. You will also do changeovers between various paints, make sure the cardboard machine stays full of cases for packing, and assist anyone else as needed.
