About The Position

Spiral Manufacturing has an opening for a spiral wound filter technician. This role encompasses multiple jobs and tasks related to the construction of spiral wound filters and laterals used in various separation processes. The person filling this position will be mostly working in a clean and climate controlled environment, individually or in small groups, though some outdoor work or work in other facilities may occasionally be required. The work requires constant standing (often in one place) for hours at a time and can be highly repetitive but still requires a great deal of focus on creating a quality product. The job also requires the ability to lift up to fifty-five (55) pounds safely and repeatedly throughout the workday, though this is typically to reposition filters for further processing, not constant repeated lifting. Spiral technicians will occasionally support ADM and outside customer operations by providing cleaning and installation services for spiral wound filters into their process housings. For that service, some travel (less than 5%) may be required. The spiral technician will be expected to learn many different jobs related to the manufacturing of spiral wound filters and lateral strainers. This is including (but not limited to) the proper and safe operation of all equipment, rolling stock, lock out tag out, and preventative maintenance of the machines and tools.
