Requirements

What we're looking for

We are looking for a methodical professional, with attention to detail and the ability to work at a good pace on the plant floor:

Experience: Minimum of 1 year of previous experience as an operator in factories or industrial environments. Having worked in the textile, paper, graphic arts, or plastic sectors will be very positively valued.

Technical competencies: Agile manual dexterity, good visual acuity for the immediate detection of millimeter-scale anomalies in the fabric, and proficiency in handling continuous industrial machinery.

Mobility: Availability of a personal vehicle (car or motorcycle) to access the industrial estate before the start of the shift at 06:00h.

Attitude: Responsibility, punctuality, rigor in execution, and a clear orientation towards long-term job stability.

Pay & benefits

What you'll get

Job stability: Structural vacancy with a vocation for continued permanence and direct transition to the company's permanent staff.

Remuneration: 11.06 — gross per hour worked.

Continuous intensive shift: Fixed schedule from Monday to Friday, 06:00h to 14:00h, guaranteeing all afternoons free and full weekends for optimal personal work-life balance.

Consolidated industrial environment: Integration into a factory with clear prevention protocols and an experienced work team.

The role

The objective of the position is to ensure the correct production flow in the assigned lines, guaranteeing the continuous and efficient operation of the textile machinery and meticulously supervising the quality of the processed material.

The selected person will be responsible for ensuring that the final product strictly complies with the client's technical specifications, minimizing machine downtime and avoiding waste or defects in the fabric.

What you'll do

Integrated into the production team, your responsibilities will be divided into the following operational areas:

Handling and supervision of textile machinery: Startup, operational supervision, and constant feeding of production machines (looms, winders, spinners, or braiders) with the appropriate raw material (yarn, cones, or bobbins).

Quality checking and control: Continuous visual inspection of the product in progress to identify tension faults, yarn breaks, weft skips, stains, or variations in density and color.

Adjustment and resolution of basic stoppages: Detection and correction of common line incidents (restarting broken yarn, changing exhausted bobbins, and adjusting guides).

Finished product management: Removal of rolls or manufactured pieces, weighing, labeling with traceability data, and palletizing for subsequent shipment.

Cleaning and operational maintenance: Basic preventive maintenance of the workstation, removing lint, textile dust, and residues to prevent mechanical breakdowns and ensure compliance with occupational safety regulations.
