Full Job Description

Enamel Operator

Location: Lafayette, IN
Job Type: Full-time
Department: Manufacturing / Operations
Work Environment: Manufacturing plant, production floor, and oven/insulation equipment areas

Join a Hands-On Manufacturing Team Focused on Safety, Quality, and Production Excellence

A manufacturing employer in Lafayette, IN is seeking dependable, safety-minded Enamel Operators to operate insulation equipment and ovens in a fast-paced production environment.

This role is ideal for someone who enjoys hands-on manufacturing work, takes pride in product quality, and can follow detailed process instructions. The Enamel Operator plays an important role in staging, setup, testing, packaging, documentation, equipment integrity, housekeeping, and supporting the next operator or shift.

Position Function

The Enamel Operator performs all daily tasks required to operate insulation equipment and ovens safely and efficiently. This includes staging, setup, testing, packaging, documentation, and helping maintain the integrity of the equipment and infrastructure used in the production process.

Main Responsibilities

Operate and maintain insulation equipment
Ensure product quality and compliance
Identify and report equipment or process issues
Support safety, housekeeping, and training

Duties and Responsibilities

The Enamel Operator will be responsible for:

Performing first-hour duties, including but not limited to:
Completing the oven process control change card, also known as the Blue Card
Checking all drawing dies, with special attention to the finish die and lube nozzles for plugging and misdirection
Changing finish die felt and checking the vibration dampener
Checking enamel flow on all ovens
Inspecting Lear heads to make sure they are on and the wire is running through the reeds
Verifying alignment
Checking bare wire supply
Reporting any set deficiencies to the Group Leader or Supervisor
Identifying scrap wire with the appropriate documentation
Placing wire in the disposition square when a determination cannot be made
Performing ODQ on all finished product
Changing lube felts on changeovers, ox jobs, and once per month according to plant guidelines or as needed
Completing all changeovers, conversions, start-ups, and spec/package changes
Completing operations oven checklists
Correcting all red tags, trouble slips, and ODQ issues promptly
Putting downed wires, including ox jobs, back on production
Communicating maintenance issues to the Group Leader or Supervisor so work orders can be written for needed repairs
Changing scotch rites in bare wire clamps on required ovens as needed
Completing all necessary quality tests
Maintaining a high level of housekeeping
Setting up the set for the next operator or shift
Trucking finished goods and raw material
Following all safe work instructions and company policies and procedures
Training Operators as assigned
Performing all other work-related duties as assigned

Required Qualifications

Qualified candidates should have:

High school diploma or GED
Ability to work in a fast-paced manufacturing environment
Ability to handle stress in a production setting
Capability to complete company-provided forklift certification within 90 days of employment
Basic computer skills
Basic reading, writing, and math skills
Ability to master the required skills and complete operator training

Preferred Qualifications

Magnet wire experience

Performance Standards

Success in this role will be measured through:

Bi-annual observations performed by the Supervisor after the first year
Attainment of annual goals established between the Supervisor and employee
Goals and objectives established upon entry into the position
Updated goals when significant changes occur in responsibilities or process
Maintaining forklift certification

Physical Demands and Work Environment

This is an active manufacturing role. While performing the duties of this job, the employee is frequently exposed to fumes, moving mechanical parts, and vibration. The employee may occasionally be exposed to extreme manufacturing conditions, including high temperatures. The noise level in the work environment may be loud.

The employee is regularly required to talk and hear. This position requires standing, sitting, walking, bending, kneeling, stooping, crouching, climbing stairs, reaching above and below chest level, using hands to handle objects, tools, or controls, and reaching with arms.

This role may involve working at various levels, including on a platform up to 80 feet high with a grated floor. The employee must frequently lift and move items over 50 pounds and may be exposed to chemical, non-toxic fumes or dust.

Specific vision abilities required include:

Close vision
Distance vision
Color vision
Peripheral vision
Depth perception
Ability to adjust focus

The employee may occasionally be exposed to cold temperatures below 55°F and heat above 100°F. The environment is well lit. The noise level may be loud due to exposure to and use of fork trucks, and the employee may occasionally be exposed to noise levels above 85 decibels. Hearing protection is required.

Reasonable accommodations may be made to enable individuals with disabilities to perform the essential functions of the job.

Why This Role Stands Out

This is a great opportunity for someone who wants to build or grow a manufacturing career in a hands-on production role. You’ll be trusted to operate critical equipment, support product quality, identify process or equipment issues, and help keep production running safely and efficiently.

Ideal Candidate Profile

You may be a strong fit for this role if you:

Enjoy active, hands-on manufacturing work
Are dependable and safety-focused
Can follow detailed procedures and work instructions
Take pride in accurate documentation and quality checks
Communicate equipment or process issues quickly
Can work efficiently in a fast-paced production environment
Are willing to complete training and maintain forklift certification
