Mixing Production Operator

Job Overview

Currently hiring for 2nd shift: 8:00pm - 6:00am (M-F)

A Rubber Mixing Production Operator helps turn raw natural rubber into a finished rubber compound that can be shipped to a molding facility and made into final products.

Think of the mixing facility as the “recipe-making” part of the rubber manufacturing process. Natural rubber comes into the plant as a raw material. It then moves through different stages where specific chemicals and other ingredients are added and mixed into the rubber. By the end of the process, the material comes out in strips or sheets of compounded rubber that meet a specific formula and are ready to be sent to Vibracoustic molding plants.

This job is very hands-on and requires you to follow the recipe, safety procedures, and quality requirements every time.

The primary responsibility of the Production Operator is to provide customers with the highest quality parts possible through repetitious manufacturing, removal, assembly or inspection of parts following plant procedures, job instructions, quality standards and manufacturing specifications at each work area. In this entry level role, the incumbent will work under regular supervision of others and is expected to raise questions or concerns as needed to learn their areas of responsibility and produce a quality product.

We are seeking a highly motivated and detail-oriented Mixing Operator to join our manufacturing team. In this vital role, you will typically be responsible for producing rubber compounds used in automotive noise, vibration, and harshness (NVH) products by safely operating mixing equipment, following formulas, monitoring quality, and supporting production goals. Vibracoustic manufactures rubber-based components for the automotive industry, so the role is a key part of the manufacturing process.

• Set up and operate rubber mixing machinery according to work instructions and production schedules.
• Weigh, load, and blend raw materials using specified formulas and recipes.

• Record production data, batch information, and quality results.
• Maintain a clean and safe work area and follow all safety procedures and PPE requirements.
• Notify supervisors or maintenance personnel of equipment or quality issues.
• Assist with equipment cleaning, inspections, and routine maintenance activities.

Qualifications

• High school diploma or GED.

• Ability to follow standard operating procedures (SOPs) and quality requirements.
