Machine Operator Trainee - Manufacturing

Are you looking for a long-term career, not just another job? We’re offering a rare opportunity to train on world-class bag converting machinery — equipment that very few people in the U.S. are trained to run. If you’re dedicated, hardworking, and eager to learn, we’ll provide hands-on training that sets you up for a career with stability, growth, and “job-for-life” skills.

This is a trainee role — once training is complete (typically 12–18 months), you’ll be eligible for a promotion in title, pay, and responsibilities.

What You’ll Do

Train directly on high-performance equipment (Totani, B&B, Hudson Sharp)

Learn to set up, run, and maintain bag converting machinery

Understand how to adjust seal bars, dies, blades, and guides for precision production

Perform quality checks and learn troubleshooting to minimize downtime

Support team operations and maintain a clean, safe, and efficient work environment

What We’re Looking For

Prior manufacturing machine operator experience

Good tenure is required

Prior manufacturing or mechanical experience preferred (but not required)

Strong work ethic, reliability, and willingness to learn

Mechanical aptitude and attention to detail

Ability to lift up to 50 lbs. and perform moderate climbing

Team-oriented with good communication skills

What You’ll Gain

Paid, structured training on specialized machinery

Promotion potential after training (title, compensation, responsibilities)

Career stability — few people have these skills, making you highly in demand

Full benefits : health, dental, vision, life insurance, short- & long-term disability

401(k) with company match

9 paid holidays + 2 weeks PTO

Incentivized cross-training opportunities
