Machine Operator - Evening Shift - Granulating And Material Handling

Highland Plastics runs a 5-day, 24-hour operation and is recruiting for our day shift, 4pm to 12am. This is a full-time position. We primarily make sheets and rolls of material for the automotive industry, who then form it into car parts. HPI has been around for 30 years and has plans to grow significantly.

New hires will join on at $16.50/hr with entitlement to comprehensive benefits worth approximately $5/hr in addition to your base pay. As well as excellent health benefits we also provide fully-funded short and long term disability insurance as well as $50k life insurance. Evening and Night shift positions receive an additional $1000 per year in off-shift premium (paid quarterly) and all positions participate in semi-annual profit-sharing.

You will primarily be operating a large granulator, converting used material into regrind. You will be trained on driving a forklift, and you will be asked to rotate in and out of the Material Handling position depending on what is needed on a given shift.

Based on your performance in these roles we may offer you the opportunity to train as an Operator on our Extrusion Lines or as a Blending Technician in the future.

Essential skills and experience:

Reliable attendance and a strong work ethic are essential. This role is a proving ground, and employees who show up every day and knock it out of the park will get opportunities for further training and raises. A positive attitude is a huge bonus.

Basic computer literacy is essential, since we will be asking everyone to use our computer system to log the work they are completing and generate barcodes for the material they are converting.

This is a great opportunity for someone looking for stability and long-term employment. Look after us and we'll look after you.
