Full Job Description

ROLE SUMMARY

Seven Industries Limited is a Jamaican manufacturer of tissue paper, garbage bags, non-woven bags, and hygiene products. We are seeking a skilled Machine Operator & Technician who can independently set up, operate, and troubleshoot our blown film extrusion line, bottom seal bag-making machine, and flexographic printer. The right candidate keeps production running at target quality and output — and when equipment goes down, they diagnose and fix it fast.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES

1. Blown Film Extrusion Line

Set up and start the mono-extruder blown film line (1-meter line) for each production run, including resin loading, die setup, and bubble formation
Monitor and adjust key process parameters:

◦ Melt temperature profile across barrel zones

◦ Blow-up ratio (BUR) and frost line height

◦ Haul-off speed and winder tension

◦ Film gauge and width

Diagnose and correct common blown film defects including:

◦ Transverse direction (TD) splitting from bubble instability

◦ Gauge variation causing winder wrinkles

◦ Die lines, fish eyes, gels, and pinholes

◦ Film blocking and poor optical clarity

Perform screw and barrel purging, die cleaning, and screen pack changes
Conduct first-article checks (thickness, width, weight per unit area) and log results
Coordinate with Chinese equipment supplier for remote technical support when needed

2. Bottom Seal Bag-Making Machine

Set up the bottom seal machine for each SKU: film roll loading, sealing jaw alignment, temperature settings, and cut length
Operate the machine at target speed while maintaining seal integrity and bag dimensions
Diagnose and resolve seal quality issues:

◦ Weak or incomplete bottom seals

◦ Burn-through or film deformation from excess heat

◦ Misalignment, skewed cuts, or uneven perforation

Perform jaw and blade replacements, timing belt adjustments, and sensor checks
Conduct in-process quality checks: seal strength, bag dimensions, and print registration
Minimize film waste during changeovers and startup

3. Flexographic Printing

Mount flexo plates and set up ink systems for each print job
Mix and manage solvent-based or water-based inks to achieve correct viscosity and color match
Set up and control print registration across all colors
Identify and correct print quality defects:

◦ Misregistration or color shift

◦ Streaking, pinholing, or ink starvation

◦ Smearing, offsetting, or ink bleeding

Clean and store anilox rolls, doctor blades, and impression cylinders properly
Conduct drying/curing checks and ensure print adhesion meets customer standards

4. Maintenance & Documentation

Execute preventive maintenance schedules for all three machines
Maintain a downtime and fault log, recording cause, corrective action, and time to repair
Track consumables usage: resins, inks, plates, blades, sealing elements
Flag recurring faults and recommend engineering improvements
Train junior operators on safe machine operation and quality standards

QUALIFICATIONS & EXPERIENCE

Required

Minimum 3 years operating a blown film extrusion line (mono or multi-layer)
Demonstrated ability to troubleshoot blown film defects without supervisor direction
Experience operating bottom seal or T-shirt bag-making machines
Working knowledge of flexographic printing: plate mounting, ink management, and registration
Ability to read and interpret machine manuals, wiring diagrams, and process parameter sheets
Basic mechanical aptitude: able to replace belts, bearings, blades, and sealing elements
Strong attention to detail and quality — able to catch defects before they become scrap

Preferred

Exposure to PLC-based machine controls
Technical/vocational certification in electrical, mechanical, or plastics technology

CORE COMPETENCIES

Technical Problem-Solving

Ownership & Accountability

Diagnoses faults systematically; doesn't guess

Takes responsibility for uptime and output quality

Quality Focus

Adaptability

Maintains spec across shifts and changeovers

Comfortable in a startup environment; self-directed

WORKING CONDITIONS

Manufacturing environment — standing, lifting, and exposure to heat from extrusion equipment
Shift work may be required as production scales
Protective equipment (PPE) required at all times on the production floor
