We design, manufacture, and source compliant packaging - rigid containers, flexible packaging, and labels - through our own domestic manufacturing facility and an international sourcing network. This year we launched packOS, our digital quoting and ordering platform, and we are rebuilding how our production floor runs: clearer standards, real certification, and a pay path that rewards operators for what they can run.\nThe Role\nYou run our pouch-making machine on nights. That means turning printed, laminated film into finished pouches - setting up the machine, running changeovers on your own, holding quality across the full run, and handing off product that is ready to ship.\nNights run with a smaller crew, so this is a role for someone who can own the machine without anyone standing over them. When something drifts, you catch it. When something faults, you can diagnose it and get the run back on spec. That trust is why this role is certified Operator II from day one, and why it is paid the way it is.\nWhat You Own\nSetup and changeover, unassisted. Load film, set seal temperatures, dwell, and pressure, set up zippers, punches, and cut, and get to first good pouch fast.\nRunning the job. Hold registration, seal quality, and dimensions across the full run, and keep production moving to the schedule.\nQuality checks. Verify seal integrity, dimensions, zipper function, and print-to-cut registration throughout the run. Catch the defect early, not at the end of the job.\nTroubleshooting. Diagnose and correct common problems - weak or wrinkled seals, registration drift, zipper misalignment, film tracking - before they become scrap or a call for help.\nDocumentation. Record run data, counts, downtime, and quality checks completely, so day shift picks up exactly where you left off.\nMaterial and waste discipline. Track film usage, minimize setup waste and scrap, and report yield honestly.\nMachine care. Daily cleaning and operator-level preventive maintenance. Escalate real problems early instead of running through them.\nSafety. Follow lockout/tagout, guarding, and PPE requirements without shortcuts, every shift.\nYour First 90 Days\nDay 30: You are signed off to run our pouch machine solo, including a full changeover, on our films and our jobs.\nDay 60: Your setups are repeatable, your scrap is trending down, and your shift handoffs are clean and complete.\nDay 90: You own the machine on nights, you have suggested at least one setup improvement that sticks, and you have started cross-training on a second machine toward Operator III.\nWho You Are\nSelf-sufficient. You solve the problems you can and escalate the ones you cannot, early.\nMechanically confident. You understand the machine, not just its controls.\nA measurer. You verify against the spec instead of eyeballing it.\nHonest about problems. You stop the run and say something rather than hoping it works out.\nBuilt for nights. You are reliable on this schedule and you like the focus it brings.\nAmbitious about what you can run. You want to be certified on more equipment, not less.\nRequirements\n1+ year operating a pouch-making machine, bag machine, or similar flexible packaging converting equipment.\nExperience on SunCentre pouching machine or similar.\nAbility to perform a full machine changeover without supervision.\nAbility to work night shift and/or weekends.\nComfort reading a job ticket and spec sheet, and working with a tape measure or calipers.\nAccurate record-keeping of run and quality data.\nPhysically able to stand through a full shift and lift up to 50 lbs, with roll handling assisted by equipment.\nReliable attendance.\nPreferred\nExperience with stand-up pouches, zipper application, or child-resistant packaging.\nExperience with flexible packaging, film, or roll-to-roll converting.\nForklift or pallet jack certification.\nBilingual English/Spanish.\nHow This Role Grows\nCalyx production titles are built around what you can run. Operator II means you are certified solo on your primary machine. Earn certification on a second machine and demonstrate independent troubleshooting on both, and you move to Operator III - with the title and pay change happening the day you certify, not on an anniversary date. Operators certified on our specialty platforms, including the pouch machine, earn a platform premium on top of their base rate.\nBenefits\nMedical, dental, and vision coverage, plus 401(k), HSA, FSA, and company-paid AD&D insurance.\nPaid time off that accrues from your first pay period - 56 hours in your first year, rising with tenure to 80, 96, and 120 hours.\nQuarterly bonus tied to company goals and company profits.\nNight shift differential included in the posted pay range.\nWhy This Role, Why Now\nCalyx just turned ten, and we are adding a night shift because demand for what we make is growing. You will be one of the people who builds that shift from the start - setting the standard for how it runs and growing with it.\nApply through this posting.
