System operator (a)
Control state-of-the-art machines in our huge production facility.
As a system operator, you will have our machines fully under control. You will ensure that production runs smoothly and produces sturdy packaging.
Our corrugated board machine is absolutely huge: it is 136 metres long and weighs 500 tonnes. Every day, we produce a carpet of cardboard 2.5 metres wide that would stretch from Lake Constance to Lake Geneva. As a system operator, you will work at the heart of this cutting-edge production.
You will set up, operate, check and prepare machines, ensuring that they produce corrugated board for stylish packaging, and safe and secure shipping. This involves an extremely complex industrial process – and you will monitor its operation. You will understand the technology so well that you will be able to rectify problems yourself and deal with any maintenance issues.
Fancy tightening some really big screws?
