JOB PURPOSE

To operate and monitor the biscuit sandwiching and horizontal flow wrap machine efficiently, ensuring high-quality product formation, accurate alignment, proper sealing, and minimal wastage. This role requires strong coordination with upstream baking operations and effective utilization of packing helpers to ensure uninterrupted flow, product integrity, and full compliance with GMP standards.

Responsibilities

• Start up and calibrate the cream sandwiching unit and flow wrap machine at shift start
• Smooth transition of running machine to the next shift operator (there should be no gap in production)
• Ensure consistent biscuit alignment and cream dosing during sandwiching with minimal breakage and wastage; regularly monitor sandwich quality (height, cream centering, adhesion). – biscuit wastage target
• Conduct routine cleaning of the machine surfaces, cream hoppers, nozzles, and belt areas to avoid contamination and buildup.
• Maintain high hygiene standards around the machine and enforce personal hygiene for all helpers on the line.
• Report persistent mechanical issues to maintenance promptly and assist in basic troubleshooting.

Requirements/Qualification

• Diploma in Mechanical/Electrical Engineering
• 3+ years’ experience in operating biscuit sandwiching or horizontal flow wrap machines
• Basic mechanical understanding of gear trains, alignment systems, and sealing operations
• Strong visual inspection skills and attention to product aesthetics and quality
• Ability to lead a small team of packing helpers effectively
• Familiarity with GMP, hygiene, and food safety standards
• Physically fit and able to work in fast-paced environments
• High sense of ownership, cleanliness, and operational discipline

Should be equipped with knowledge of rectifying issues that are of a basic nature i.e. cutter replacement, changing over of product, round sealers adjustment, jaws adjustment, rectification of cut on wrapper issue, all mechanical related jobs etc.
