Packaging Line Mechanic-Operator

Markesan, WI

You arrive on shift, walk the line, and bring the packaging system online. Hoppers are topped off, sensors verified, and a quick check confirms bulk load-out is queued. Mid-morning, a divert gate needs adjustmentyou diagnose the issue, make a mechanical tweak, and production never misses a beat. Between runs, you lead deep cleaning and sanitation, prep samples for quality checks, and log every shipment and batch in our systems. Before clocking out, you collaborate with maintenance to prevent tomorrow’s downtime and share ideas to boost line reliability.
