Role Overview

Kodak is looking for Coating Operators to join our team in Kodaks Advanced Materials and Chemicals Division in Rochester, NY.

Operators work in a variety of roles, all of which are involved in manufacturing the highest-quality light-sensitive coated products in the world. Depending on qualifications and experience, operator candidates will be assigned a role in one of these three teams.

Coating: Our unique and massive coating machines create the PET film base as well as coat light-sensitive materials onto the film base. Coating Operators are responsible for ensuring that the coating machines run smoothly and that the coated products are free from imperfections.

Chemical: Our world-class coated products rely upon the interplay of multiple extremely thin chemical layers. Chemical Operators use precisely engineered processes to prepare all materials used in coating, including solvents, dyes, and light-sensitive emulsions. Experience dealing with large quantities of chemicals and understanding chemical Safety Data Sheets is helpful.

Quality: Our coated products are of the highest quality in the world. Quality Operators inspect freshly coated film products for imperfections in structure or sensitivity that would affect their functionality and salability. A background in science may be helpful.

All operator roles have similar expectations:

As an operator, you will potentially:

Work in both light and dark room conditions.

Work 11-hour days or 12-hour rotating shifts.

Work overnights and possibly weekends.

While many roles at Kodak function during daytime hours only, candidates willing to work overnights and/or weekends would be preferred.

Required skills and experience for all operators:

Must be a detail-orientated team player.

Must have the ability to be flexible between multiple positions, sometimes multi-tasking or moving within a shift.

Must work effectively with minimal supervision.

Ability to prioritize work to meet business needs.

Ability to express oneself communicate clearly, both written and verbal, and comprehend a variety of work requests

Willing to work overtime or adjust work schedule for business needs.

Must be willing and able to lift and move objects up to 50 pounds.

Ability to obtain Power Industrial Truck (fork truck) license at Kodak.

Positions require walking, standing, and frequent lifting, carrying, pulling, pushing, and occasional awkward positions.

Must maintain a clean work area.

Must maintain strict adherence to safety procedures and quality standards.

Computer proficiency including navigating screens and data entry.

Responsibility for specific manufacturing processes, inputs, outputs, and troubleshooting.

Be involved in product quality and process improvement activities.

Interact with engineers, technicians, and maintenance personnel.

Skills:

At least 2 years of hands-on experience in a manufacturing environment.

Understanding of film photography.

Understanding of thin-film coating processes.

Strong problem solving, data analysis, and computer abilities (Excel, Word, etc.).

Knowledge of Outlook, One-LIMS, Felix, and the SAP system.
