Production Line Operative

You feed empty containers to the filler, watch the fill level and the seal, and take a sample every half hour for the weight and torque check recorded on the line sheet. You change the label reel and the date coder at each format change, clear minor jams at the conveyor and call maintenance for anything behind a guard. At the end of the shift you clean the line to the written plan and sign the cleaning record. Three shifts rotate weekly: 06:00-14:00, 14:00-22:00 and 22:00-06:00.
