About The Position

As an Operator II, you’ll play a key role in keeping our plant running safely and efficiently. You’ll work hands-on with equipment, support daily operations, and be part of a team that keeps everything moving. A Day in the Life: No two days are exactly the same; here’s what you can expect: You might start your shift reviewing updates from the previous team, then head out to check equipment and monitor operations. Throughout the day, you’ll rotate through different areas, assist with sampling and testing, and help keep everything running efficiently. You’ll perform safety checks, help with minor maintenance, and work alongside your team to solve problems as they come up. Some days are fast-paced, especially when supporting production needs or addressing equipment issues, but you’ll always have a team around you. You’ll be moving, learning, and contributing to something bigger every day.
