- Perform quality checks (bottle weight, wall thickness, visual inspection)
- Troubleshoot process problems and make minor adjustments and repairs
- Keep basic production records

What you bring:

- Proven experience operating PET reheat stretch blow molding machines (e.g., Norland, Sidel, Krones, or similar)

- Reliable transportation to

Schedule: Start as soon as possible. Approximately 4 weeks, Monday to Friday, day shift (some flexibility at startup and shutdown).
