APPLY NOWJob 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 required3–5+ years of experience in a factory environment
- Work Schedule3-2-2 rotation with 12-hour shifts.
- Ready to Make an Impact?
- Bring your eye for quality and passion for improvement to a team where your contributions on the line translate directly to customer satisfaction.
