Production Operator / Label Room -… at Tremco CPG Inc. · Brooklyn…

Rust-Oleum Corporation is a worldwide leader in protective paints and coatings for both home and industry. We offer a wide product range including decorative fashion paints, durable industrial roof repair coatings and, of course, the famous rust-fighting formula that started it all.

The primary result expected from the Production/Label Room Associate is to print and ensure label accuracy, package paint and related products by operating, setting up, adjusting, and performing QC checks while tending to machines/hand fill lines to package product in a safe, consistent, and efficient manner according to specifications.

Solving challenges is the very foundation of who we are. After all, in the beginning, our founder, sea captain Robert Fergusson, didn’t particularly care about paint. When he founded our company in 1921, he just wanted to keep his ship intact and stumbled upon a valuable solution. Today, that discovery is Rust-Oleum Corporation.

The same passion that drove the Captain to spend his next few years creating the world’s first rust-preventative paint still drives us today. When we see a problem, we work diligently until we’ve perfected a solution, which has led to some of the most cutting edge, durable and innovative products in the industry. Our creative and talented team of over 2000 people across every corner of the world, help us remain the global leader in protective paints and coatings for both home and industry.

As our Production / Label Room Associate, you will help Rust-Oleum deliver our products on time by operating, monitoring, and adjusting filling and packaging equipment to safely produce high-quality products while maintaining efficiency, performing basic maintenance, ensure accurate production records and label accuracy.
