Position Type:

Full-Time, On-site About the Role We are seeking a skilled, precision-minded Slitter Operator to set up and run roll-to-roll converting machinery. In this role, you will handle precision cutting, web tension control, and continuous material inspection to produce high-quality rolled materials. If you have solid mechanical aptitude, take pride in tight-tolerance accuracy, and prioritize safety around continuous blades and heavy machinery, this role offers a great opportunity on our production floor. Top Requirements Roll-to-Roll /

Converting Expertise:

Direct experience operating slitting or roll-to-roll converting equipment, including hands-on knowledge of web handling and tension control (strongly preferred over basic assembly or general machine operating).

High Precision & Detail Orientation:

Strict focus on maintaining exact width tolerances and edge quality, as small setup mistakes can result in costly roll scrap.

Strict Safety Discipline:

Complete commitment to safety protocols—specifically Lockout/Tagout (LOTO), blade handling safety, machine guarding, and proper PPE use. Essential Duties & Responsibilities Set up and operate slitting machinery to process roll-stock material into specified widths and lengths per production specifications. Safely load and unload heavy material rolls; set up blades/knives and adjust line tension for optimal feed. Perform first-piece and ongoing in-process inspections (verifying width, edge quality, and winding tension) against job prints and specs. Continuously monitor material during runs for defects, telescoping, or edge wear to prevent scrapped product. Perform routine machine maintenance, including changing and sharpening blades. Accurately track shift data including production output, scrap rates, and equipment downtime. Maintain a clean, organized workstation and adhere strictly to all safety and LOTO procedures at all times. Qualifications 1-3+ years of experience operating slitting, rewinding, or web-handling machinery preferred. Mechanical aptitude with hands-on experience using precision measurement tools (calipers, tape measures, micrometers). Ability to regularly lift, move, and position heavy material rolls safely. Strong mathematical skills for measuring tolerances and tracking material yields.
