Manufacturing Production, Operations Engineer
Overview
Join Our Team as a Sheeter Operator!
As a Sheeter Operator at Green Bay Packaging, you are the first line of production. You'll transform massive master rolls of paperboard into the precision-cut sheets that feed our high-speed printing presses. Operating our Sheeter Machines, you'll balance mechanical skill with a keen eye for detail to ensure every sheet meets the exact specifications required for world-class folding cartons.
Responsibilities- Precision Setup:
Retrieve master rolls and use clamp trucks to load the backstand. Thread the web and set slitters and knives according to work instructions. - High-Speed Operation:
Monitor the Sheeter to ensure it runs at peak efficiency, maintaining proper tension and consistent cut lengths. - Quality Control:
Conduct ongoing audits. Check for squareness, sheet size accuracy, and surface defects to ensure the printing department gets a perfect product. - Active Troubleshooting:
Use mechanical aptitude to listen to the machine, adjusting for web breaks, jams, or tension issues on the fly. - Inventory & Logistics:
Manage roll stock data using basic computer systems and ensure finished pallets are labeled and staged correctly using forklifts or pallet jacks. - Safety & Maintenance:
Keep a clean, safe workstation and perform basic preventative maintenance. - Maintain strict tool accountability and hygiene (GMP) standards to ensure our paperboard packaging remains uncontaminated.
- Mechanically Minded:
You enjoy understanding how machines work and aren't afraid to use tools to make adjustments. - Quality-Focused:
If the sheet isn't right, the whole plant slows down. You take pride in "doing it right the first time." - Physically Active:
You're comfortable being on your feet up to 8-12 hours a day, moving between the control console and the backstands, and can lift up to 50 pounds. - Safety-Certified:
Experience with and/or ability to learn clamp trucks, forklifts, and electric pallet jacks. - Adaptable:

- Some overtime and weekend work may be required.
- Advanced Web Tension Control:
Monitor and adjust brake systems and dancer rolls to prevent web-weave or stretching, ensuring consistent sheet dimensions from the start of the roll to the core. - Precision Knife & Slitter Management:
Set and maintain shear-cut slitters for clean, dust-free edges. Monitor blade wear and ensure squareness within tight tolerances (e.g., +/- 1/32"). - Sheet Handling & Stacking:
Fine-tune the overlap and tape speed settings to ensure smooth delivery into the stacker, preventing jams and ensuring press-ready loads for the litho department.
