Confirmed on the employer's own hiring board on Nov 1, 2026. First seen by Alion on Oct 16, 2026.
Senior Production Operator - Blending & Extrusion | $25-$33/hr | Temp-to-Perm | Norwalk, OH
Overview
Mural Group is partnering with a global specialty polymer and material science manufacturer to fill Senior Production Operator openings at their Norwalk, Ohio facility. This is a temp-to-perm opportunity with a stable, well-established manufacturer. The right person comes in, performs, and earns a permanent position with full company benefits.
We have openings on two shifts:
2nd Shift: Monday through Thursday, 1:00 PM to 11:30 PM (possible Friday OT)
3rd Shift: Monday night through Thursday night, 7:00 PM to 5:30 AM (possible Sunday OT)
Both shifts are 10-hour, 4-day schedules. You work four days and you are off three. Every week.
What You Will Be Doing
This is not an entry-level role. As a Senior Production Operator, you own your area of the production floor. You will set up, start, and operate blending and extrusion equipment to produce specialty polymer compounds and colorant products to customer specifications. You will weigh and measure ingredients to meet recipe specifications, monitor production and equipment during the run, and troubleshoot processing issues at the first level before escalating. You will complete all required SAP transactions, production logs, and end-of-shift documentation accurately, and participate in training new operators on processes and procedures. ISO and EH&S compliance is a standard expectation, not an afterthought.
What You Bring
3+ years of experience in blending, mixing, or extrusion operations in a plastics, polymer, colorant, or specialty chemical manufacturing environment
Hands-on machine setup and startup experience - you run the equipment, you do not just load it
SAP experience: production transactions, batch records, shift documentation
Active forklift operator certification
Comfortable in a PPE-required chemical manufacturing environment
Ability to lift up to 55 lbs frequently and handle up to 250 lbs occasionally
High school diploma or GED
What the Role Offers
$25.00 to $33.00 per hour depending on experience
10-hour shifts, 4 days a week - Mon through Thu, the rest of the week is yours
Temp-to-perm pathway with a Fortune 500 specialty materials manufacturer
PPE and safety equipment provided
