Job Description
Do You See Waste and Immediately Think “How Can We Improve This?”

If you’re the person who spots a loose process, tightens it up, and makes it safer, this role is built for you. Imagine starting your 12-hour shift with a quick safety scan—any issue you catch is reported right away to your supervisor or the safety team. Then you move to the glass line, operating pre- or post-processing equipment exactly to standard so quality stays consistent and customers stay happy.

Picture a brief alarm: you assess, troubleshoot the line or product, and get things back on track. Between runs, you replenish raw materials—jumping on a stand-up or sit-down forklift—and verify everything is in place for the next cycle. You keep a spotless, organized area through 5S so abnormalities stand out. When a small mechanical hiccup appears, you handle the minor maintenance needed to avoid delays.

Later, you help run a quick Kaizen activity or even lead it, shaving time off a changeover. During job changes, you collaborate to reconfigure the line. Through it all, you demonstrate the AGC Way—team-oriented, customer-focused, and improvement-driven. And when priorities shift, you’re ready to take on other duties or projects as assigned.

Core Responsibilities
  • Own safety for yourself and others; escalate all safety concerns to your supervisor or the safety team
  • Operate glass manufacturing equipment (pre- and post-process) in alignment with documented procedures
  • Keep the line supplied with required raw materials
  • Drive both stand-up and sit-down forklifts safely and efficiently
  • Conduct scheduled quality checks per established procedures
  • Troubleshoot production or quality issues and restore standard conditions
  • Participate in or lead Kaizen efforts to advance continuous improvement
  • Uphold 5S: clean work area, organized tools, correct placement, clear visuals
  • Perform minor maintenance tasks to support equipment reliability
  • Contribute to job changes (changeovers) as production demands shift
  • Exhibit the AGC Way in every interaction and decision
  • Fulfill other assigned duties or projects
Qualifications
  • High School diploma or GED required
  • 3–5+ years of experience in a factory environment
Work Schedule

3-2-2 rotation with 12-hour shifts.
