- Machine Operation: Responsible for the startup, monitoring, and shutdown of the press and paper mill. This is a large machine where paper bales are inserted; the mill mixes them and the press compacts and bundles them with wire. The machine operator monitors the equipment, handling any incidents that may arise, and simultaneously prepares the bales to be fed into the press and mill (cutting wires with shears).
- Machine Feeding: Using a forklift and knowledge of paper grades, paper bales are taken from their respective stacks and fed into the machine.
- Quality Control: Responsible for the final step before loading trucks. Once the bale is completed, it always contains impurities (impurities are types of paper different from what the bale should contain, plastics where there should be paper, etc.). The Operator performing quality control uses a utility knife and pliers to remove these impurities from the bale before it is loaded.
- Loading and Unloading Trucks: Using a forklift to load and unload tarps and containers.
