Role Overview

The Process Inspector - 3rd Shift position in Norfolk, NE, offers a stable, full-time opportunity in medical manufacturing. Working Sunday through Thursday from 11pm to 7am, you'll earn $24.00 per hour, including shift differential. This entry-to-mid-level role focuses on quality assurance, machine operation, and documentation in a fast-paced production environment. No college degree required—ideal for motivated individuals with high school education and some related experience.

Why This Role Stands Out

In this position, you'll ensure defect-free medical products through meticulous inspections and process monitoring. Gain hands-on experience in pharmaceutical manufacturing while working under moderate supervision in a supportive team setting. Overtime opportunities available as needed.

Key Responsibilities

As a Process Inspector, your daily tasks will keep production running smoothly and products compliant with strict quality guidelines:

• Conduct thorough quality checks on produced products to identify and eliminate visible defects before they reach customers.
• Visually inspect in-process and finished materials while operating equipment, immediately notifying teammates of machine malfunctions or defective items.
• Accurately record traceability information, production data, cleaning documentation, and safety checks in company systems with precision and attention to detail.
• Start machines, monitor operations, perform adjustments, and conduct general troubleshooting to maintain efficiency.
• Handle material movement: transport empty and full bags, totes, or boxes; apply labels, weigh products, verify counts, pack into shippers, and palletize for shipment.
• Adhere to department medical manufacturing and housekeeping procedures, completing all required cleaning verification checklists.
• Collaborate with team members using strong interpersonal skills to maintain a positive, productive environment.
• Assist with additional duties and work overtime as required.

• Ability to read, write, comprehend, and follow English-language specifications, procedures, and instructions.
• Comfort working routine assignments with some problem-solving under moderate supervision.

What is Expected at This Level
