Extrusion Technician Greencastle, IN | $30.38 to $32.30/hr on nights | 2-2-3 schedule $30+ an hour. Three-day weekends every other week. And a line that is yours to run. If you have spent time on an extrusion line, you know there is a difference between someone who watches the machine and someone who actually runs it. We are looking for the second kind. Phoenix in Greencastle makes close-tolerance, three-layer plastic sheet, the kind of product where "close enough" does not ship. You will set up the line, bring it up, keep it in spec, and solve the problems that show up at 2 a.m. In return, you get top pay for the area, a schedule that gives you real time off, and a 135+ year old company. The deal

Pay:

$29.13 (Level 1) or $31.05 (Level 2) base, plus a $1.25 night shift differential. That is $30.38 to $32.30 an hour on nights.

Schedule:

2-2-3 rotation, 12-hour nights from 6 p.m. to 6 a.m. A 30-minute lunch and two 15-minute breaks are built into every shift. About 14 working days a month and every other weekend off.

Training on days first:

you do not start cold on nights. You train on first shift until you and your manager both feel good about it. No stopwatch on that.

Benefits:

[medical, dental, vision, 401(k), PTO] Who we are Phoenix is a 135+ year old company, making plastic packaging since 1890. Six generations later, it is still family owned and holds more than 150 patents. That kind of staying power is rare in manufacturing, and it means the people on the floor matter here. What your nights look like Set up jobs from setup sheets: temperatures, slitting knives, blend changes, extruder startup Lace the line to the winder and keep it running in spec Read the sheet. When streaks or other defects show up, you figure out why and fix it Check thickness and slit width, then die-cut and weigh samples for density Cut over rolls, package finished goods, and keep scrap moving to reclaim Log your numbers in the ERP system and keep the deviation record straight As you grow, train the operators coming up behind you You will do well here if you Have 1+ year running plastic extrusion (sheet, film, profile or pipe) or similar big equipment like slitters and winders Would rather fix a problem than write it up and walk away Are comfortable with hand gauges and a computer Are fine with real plant work: lifting up to 60 lbs, heat, noise, pulling chrome rolls and splitting dies Take safety and GMP seriously (this is a safety-sensitive role) Bonus points: co-extrusion, winder or slitter setup, die and screw cleaning, forklift, or experience training others. Straight talk This is not a desk job. Lifting runs 15 to 40% of the shift, and it is hot and loud. If that sounds like a normal day at work to you, you will fit right in. We are hiring now.
