About The Position

Production Operators may be assigned to various roles in the Soil or Clean production areas of the Crown Health Care Laundry plant, based on hiring needs, production levels, and the employee’s skills and abilities. Pay rates and scheduled work hours depend on the assigned area. Operators rotate through positions that support receiving, sorting, washing, drying, ironing, and loading linens for delivery to hospitals and medical facilities. Employees learn to operate the equipment needed for their assignments and are expected to meet customer expectations safely. Employees must learn all equipment and rotate between jobs as needed. The typical learning curve for each position is 2–5 working days, and position standards must be met within two weeks of hire and maintained throughout employment. Employees in both Soil and Clean Production may be assigned other duties and must follow quality and safety standards. They must be able to perform the essential job functions, with or without accommodation. Soil Operations involve sorting returned soiled linen into classifications, preparing it for washing, washing, and preparing carts for the Clean Production area. Duties include opening returned soil bags, spreading and presorting linens, working with a team to sort items into bins or slots, moving empty carts, and cleaning, sterilizing, drying, and lining carts for reuse. Clean Operations include rotating through positions such as Catcher, Hand Folder, Ironer, and Shipping Clerk. These roles involve handling, folding, stacking, inspecting, and moving linens; operating production equipment; making quality decisions; identifying items that need to be removed or rewashed; reporting equipment problems or jams to maintenance; preparing finished carts; recording shipment information; and, as required, loading delivery trucks.
