Full job description

Role Summary

Machine Operator running slurry-forming and bonding equipment at Quick Plug Canada's St. Catharines plant, producing bonded growing media plugs for horticulture. Responsible for line startup, continuous quality monitoring, and hands-on equipment upkeep, including clearing accumulated mud/dirt slurry from machine components.

Shift: Afternoon shift, 3:00 PM – 2:00 AM, Monday to Thursday (4-day work week). Optional overtime shifts available on Fridays.

Day-to-Day Responsibilities

Start up and stage the production line to hit scheduled run time, including pre-run checks on PLCs and automated forming equipment
Feed and monitor the dirt/peat slurry and binder mixing process, watching for inconsistent bonding, incomplete cure, or off-spec plug density
Continuously inspect finished plugs for defects (weak bonding, mud clumping, size/shape deviation) and report to Leads
Clean and clear designated machine components per the posted cleaning schedule, including shoveling out mud and dirt slurry residue that builds up in feed hoppers, mixing chambers, and conveyor sections
Track packaging material usage and flag shortages to Supervisor before they stall the line
Report maintenance issues (mechanical wear, PLC faults, sensor errors) to Operating Leads immediately, not at end of shift
Follow GMP and Food Safety protocols on any shared lines, plus isocyanate-specific PPE and handling procedures (respirator, hazmat suit, gloves, safety glasses)
Maintain a defect/scrap rate at or below plant target through consistent slurry-mix and bonding-quality checks
Complete cross-training on at least one additional specialty machine and be able to run it without supervision
Contribute to reducing unplanned downtime tied to slurry buildup/clogging by following (and suggesting improvements to) the cleaning schedule
Support onboarding of new operators on assigned machines, including hands-on training on proper cleaning/mud-clearing technique to prevent equipment jams

Required Experience

5+ years in a manufacturing environment, ideally with continuous-process or batch-mixing equipment
Hands-on comfort with manual, physically demanding labor: standing, bending, kneeling, lifting up to 50 lbs, shoveling/clearing material buildup
Basic computer literacy sufficient for PLC interfaces and digital production logs
High school diploma, GED, or equivalent work experience
Fluent spoken/written English sufficient for safety instructions and shift handoffs

Preferred Experience

Direct experience with PLCs and automated/robotic production equipment
Mechanical aptitude and machine setup/changeover experience
Exposure to slurry, binder, resin, or chemical-mix processes (isocyanate, polyurethane, or similar) — understands why containment and PPE compliance matter, not just that it's required
Valid forklift license
Prior experience training or leading other operators on a specialty machine

Work Environment

On-site only, St. Catharines, Ontario plant — not remote-eligible
Manufacturing floor environment: moderate-to-high noise, temperature swings, airborne dust/organic particulate
Required PPE: respirator, hazmat suit, safety glasses, gloves
Physically demanding: standing, bending, kneeling, climbing, lifting to 50 lbs, and manual clearing of mud/slurry buildup
Overtime required as production schedules demand

Benefits of Joining the Team

RRSP Employer Match Program
Health, Dental, and Vision Benefits
Employee Assistance Program
PPE Reimbursement Program
