Production Operator Jobs

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.

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.
