Full job description

The Role

Keep a touchscreen-controlled, fully automated pre-roll cone manufacturing line running at 95% uptime through 12-hour shifts. Monitor production via HMI, execute changeovers, respond to alarms, troubleshoot, and own daily equipment care. The PLC and electrical systems behind the HMI are owned by the Controls Engineer — you own the interface, the production, and the safety.

We want operators who can run, troubleshoot, and respect safety on modern automated equipment.

What You'll Do

Monitor production via HMI; walk the line every 30–60 min to catch what sensors miss

Execute recipe and product changeovers per SOP

Respond to HMI alarms: open the affected safety door, clear the fault, reset and restart, log it

Escalate when scope exceeds operator authority (PLC logic, electrical, mechanical rebuilds, vision re-cal)

Quality sampling against spec; investigate drift before it becomes scrap

Autonomous maintenance: lubrication, inspection, GMP cleaning, minor adjustments, wear-part replacement

Document everything; clean handover at shift change

Safety — Non-Negotiable

Our equipment has interlocked safety doors. Never bypass an interlock. Never reach into an active zone. LOTO before work in non-interlocked areas. If a door isn't latching, take the zone out of service. Safety defeats are immediate cause for termination, regardless of seniority or production pressure.

Required

HMI fluency on modern automated equipment

3+ years on automated production OR 2-yr college diploma (Mechatronics, Electromechanical, Mech Eng Tech)

Strong safety discipline; first-line troubleshooting ability

Comfortable with 24/7 DuPont rotation including nights

Eligible to work in Canada; pass background and drug screen per GMP policy

Strong Fit

Pharma, food, CPG packaging, medical device, or cosmetics manufacturing backgrounds. Mechatronics/Mech Eng Tech grads. Skilled trades (millwright, industrial electrician, industrial mechanic) with modern automation exposure. C.E.T. or OACETT path a plus. PLC awareness preferred — programming not required.

Junior vs. Senior

Junior ($40/hr): Meets the floor; runs the line and clears standard alarms; building diagnostic depth

Senior ($45/hr): Runs autonomously, leads changeovers, mentors juniors, owns shift outcomes

Pay: $40.00-$49.00 per hour

Expected hours: 42.5 per week

Work Location: In person
