We ASK questions, EMBRACE challenges, SEEK new perspectives, and ANTICIPATE what comes next.

About the role

We're hiring Manufacturing Machine Operators to join our growing team in New Holland, PA. If you have experience in extrusion manufacturing (plastic extrusion, wire & cable extrusion, profile extrusion, tubing extrusion, or related continuous-process production), we definitely want to hear from you. In this role, you will operate production equipment, support manufacturing processes, and ensure product quality in a clean, safety-focused environment. This is a night-shift, full-time manufacturing role-ideal for hands-on operators who thrive in extrusion line / production line settings and want long-term career growth.

Why You'll Love Working Here
  • Competitive Pay - Earn $24-$26/hr plus a $2.00/hr night shift premium
  • Work-Life Balance - 12-hour 2-3-2 schedule gives you 14+ days off per month
  • Paid Training Program - 8-12 weeks of on-the-job, hands-on instruction
  • Strong Benefits - Medical, dental, vision, PTO, paid holidays
  • Future-Ready Perks - 401(k) with company match, tuition reimbursement, volunteer time off
  • Career Advancement - Clear pathways to grow within manufacturing, production, and technical roles

Responsibilities

What You'll Do

As an Operator, you'll play a key role in producing high-quality cable products by:

  • Operate manufacturing machinery safely and efficiently
  • Monitor and adjust process settings (speed, temperature, tension, material feed) to support stable extrusion line performance
  • Assist with start-ups, changeovers, and material changes (resin/compound) to meet production schedules
  • Perform in-process measurements and visual inspections; identify common extrusion defects (diameter/OD, surface marks, gels, voids) and escalate as needed
  • Perform quality checks and follow standard work instructions
  • Troubleshoot basic machine issues and report equipment concerns
  • Maintain a clean, organized, and safe work area
  • Achieve production targets and support team goals
  • Accurately complete production documentation and system entries

Qualifications

What We're Looking For

  • High School Diploma or GED required
  • Basic math and computer skills
  • Ability to work independently and as part of a team
  • Prior manufacturing or machine operator experience preferred, but not required-training provided
  • Prior extrusion experience highly preferred

Education & Experience

Work Environment/Physical Demands:

  • Work performed primarily on the manufacturing floor; noise levels may be moderate to high; PPE required
  • Approximately 80% hands-on production work and 20% clerical tasks
  • Regular lifting up to 30 lbs; occasional lifting up to 45 lbs
  • Exposure to varying temperatures
  • May require standing or sitting for prolonged periods
  • Occasional climbing, stooping, kneeling, crouching, reaching, and coordinated hand/foot movements
