Responsibilities

• Manufacture adhesive products by following detailed batch tickets and recipe instructions.
• Weigh and add raw materials according to specified formulas, measurements, and work instructions.
• Mix and monitor glue batches, with individual batches typically taking 3.5–4 hours to complete.
• Unload tanker deliveries and transfer raw materials from storage to production areas.
• Move totes, chemicals, and other materials throughout the facility using stand-up or sit-down forklifts and tow motors.
• Complete inventory transactions and batch documentation accurately using SAP and internal tracking systems.
• Wear required PPE, including respirators, Tyvek suits, gloves, and other safety equipment as needed.
• Lift, carry, and handle materials weighing up to 55 lbs throughout the shift.
• Work safely with powders, chemicals, and raw materials in an industrial manufacturing environment.
• Maintain a clean and organized work area, recognizing that the environment can be dusty, messy, and warm at times.
• Follow all safety, quality, and production procedures to ensure consistent batch quality and reliable output.
• Communicate with team members and supervisors about batch status, material needs, and any issues that arise during production.

Essential Skills

• 1–2 years of manufacturing experience in batch making, chemical processing, mixing, food production, or similar production environments.
• Ability to read and follow batch tickets, work instructions, and production documentation accurately.
• Basic math skills for weighing ingredients, measuring materials, and performing addition and subtraction.
• Capability to lift and handle up to 55 lbs on a regular basis.
• Comfort working in an industrial manufacturing setting with powders, chemicals, and raw materials.
• Attention to detail when weighing, mixing, and documenting batches.
• Ability to follow safety procedures and wear required PPE, including respirators, Tyvek suits, and gloves.
• Reliability in following recipes and maintaining consistent product quality.

Additional Skills & Qualifications

• Forklift and tow motor experience is a plus, including stand-up and sit-down equipment.
• Experience using SAP or similar inventory and production tracking systems is beneficial.
• paint manufacturing or similar environments may help with adapting to the work conditions.
• Strong communication skills for coordinating with team members and reporting production issues.
• Willingness to learn company-specific systems and processes through provided training.

Why Work Here?

You join a stable, growing organization recognized as a global leader in adhesives, sealants, and specialty chemical products used across construction, roofing, packaging, woodworking, consumer goods, and industrial manufacturing. The company fosters a strong safety culture, high quality standards, and a commitment to innovation. You benefit from competitive pay, opportunities for overtime to increase earnings, and structured training on SAP and internal systems. This environment supports the development of valuable chemical manufacturing and production skills, offering long-term growth and career stability.

Work Environment

This is a 1st shift role, working approximately 6:00 AM to 2:30 PM, with overtime available as needed. The position is fully hands-on in an industrial manufacturing facility focused on producing adhesive batches. You work directly with chemicals, powders, and raw materials, and the work can be physically demanding, involving frequent lifting, moving materials, and operating forklifts or tow motors. The environment is not a clean room; it can be dusty, messy, and warm depending on the production area and specific products being manufactured. Required PPE such as respirators, Tyvek suits, gloves, and other safety gear must be worn when necessary. Individuals familiar with paint manufacturing often find this environment cleaner and less odorous than typical paint mixing operations.
