Position summary

The Moulder Operator is a skilled specialist role responsible for safe independent saw-moulder setup, profile quality, tooling interaction, saw-to-moulder coordination, and controlled troubleshooting. The role is expected to deliver consistent results in setup readiness, first-off approval, uptime, waste control, communication, escalation, and team support. Internal candidates must complete the required roadmap and demonstrate independent setup capability before placement, while wage movement within the specialist range is based on sustained performance, not training completion alone.

Essential duties and responsibilities

- Apply all safety, guarding, lockout/tagout, hazard-assessment, cutter-head handling, jointer, saw arbor, lifting, and machine-specific controls.
- Review the work order, tooling plan, finished dimensions, rip requirements, tolerance, profile, quality standard, and sequence before setup.
- Coordinate with Tooling to verify cutter heads and components, inspect condition, install cutter heads, and position drive rollers, shoes, chip breakers, rails, and side pressures.
- Set the saw and moulder, infeed and outfeed equipment, jointing stones, jointer, line speed, and approved moulder parameters.
- Perform the complete moulder setup and independently produce first-off product that meets profile, tolerance, component, quality, and speed requirements.
- Identify and correct permitted causes of snipes, saw marks, overlaps, chatter, profile lines,



dimensional variation, and other common moulder defects.
- Complete moulder quality checks, production sheets, setup records, and 5S standards, including required cleaning before setup and at shift end.
- Calculate or verify approved minimum and maximum rip requirements and select the correct saw arbor for the work order.
- Set up and change the Paul Saw arbor, arbor height, speed, setup requirements, infeed and outfeed, then verify safe condition and output before release.
- Coordinate timing with the Line Champion so saw work and moulder work are sequenced safely and in target times. Never divide attention between two active hazardous setups.
- When a moulder changeover prevents completion of the saw arbor change, brief and hand off the saw task only to a Line Operator holding current saw-arbor backup certification.
- Coach Moulder candidates and saw-backup trainees using the approved checklist and document objective evidence.

Qualifications

- Post-secondary education in manufacturing, business, operations, industrial technology, engineering, leadership, or a related field is preferred.
- Academic or technical background in manufacturing, woodworking, machining, tooling, mechanical systems,



process equipment, or a related technical field is preferred.
- Previous experience in a similar manufacturing, moulding, machining, saw, tooling, finishing, or automated-line environment is preferred.
- Internal Line Operator candidates for Moulder Operator must complete the full line-operation skills progression roadmap and required support-station certifications before specialist placement.
- Complete moulder and saw-arbor curriculam, with separate practical sign-offs for each machine.
- Independently complete a full moulder setup and a full saw-arbor change with correct work-order interpretation, energy control, component verification, quality confirmation, and documentation.
- Demonstrate robust technical understanding of tooling, cutter heads, jointing, feed systems, controller settings, saw arbor selection, rip requirements, profile defects, dimensional control, and line-speed balance.
- Demonstrate defect diagnosis, controlled recovery, communication, and escalation to Tooling, Maintenance, Quality, or leadership within approved authority.
- Maintain current machine-specific qualification through periodic observation and retraining after major process, tooling, equipment, or standard changes.
