Cutter & Spreader Operator

The Cutter & Spreader will spread rolls of material to meet the production schedule in a cleanroom environment as directed and to meet the requirements of the work instructions provided. They will inspect rolled goods for any defects or wrinkles that could affect finished product quality. Once spread, the Cutter & Spreader will select the appropriate pattern needed or measure the appropriate length of the spread based on the cut sheet. The Cutter & Spreader will either mark the material with a pattern or marker. Finally, the Cutter & Spreader will cut the material in accordance with the work instructions. After the cut is complete, the Cutter will organize the cut material to be moved to the next phase of production.

During the facility tour, candidates will participate in a Cutter & Spreader assessment to evaluate their proficiency in reading a tape measure, performing basic mathematical functions, and completing a simulated assessment.
