Initial training occurs on first shift; ongoing role is second shift (Mon–Fri, 12:00pm–8:30pm). Ideal for mechanically inclined, detail-driven operators who want consistent hours, hands-on work, and clear growth in regulated manufacturing.

• Perform and record in-process checks (e.g., weights, hardness, thickness, visual) with complete, timely, legible entries.
• Set up, tear down, and change over compression machines and tooling; support line clearance and reconciliation.
• Clean equipment and rooms per SOPs; maintain a safe, orderly, inspection-ready workspace.
• Escalate equipment or product issues promptly; partner with Quality, Maintenance, and peers to keep production on plan.
• Assist with basic maintenance and help troubleshoot to minimize downtime.
• Accurately label, track, and document materials throughout the compression process.
• Join shift handoffs and collaborate to hit daily throughput and quality goals.
QUALIFICATIONS
• High school diploma or equivalent.
• 1–2 years in manufacturing or machine operation preferred; pharmaceutical experience welcome but not required.
• Mechanical aptitude and willingness to learn compression operations.
• Strong attention to detail; able to follow written and verbal instructions.
• Basic math for measurements and batch calculations.
