Operator: the driving force behind production and process
Are you technically minded, work accurately and feel responsible for the proper functioning of machines? Then the position of operator is a perfect match. As an operator, you operate production machines, monitor the process and solve minor malfunctions independently. You ensure that the production process runs smoothly and thus make a direct contribution to quality, safety and productivity.
Via Euro Planit, you can work as an operator at production companies in the food industry, engineering, chemicals, packaging industry and metalworking, among others. Whether you are just starting out or already have several years of experience: we will find you the job that matches your skills, shift preference and ambitions.
What does an operator do?
As an operator, you are responsible for operating one or more machines in a production process. You ensure that raw materials are processed correctly, machines are properly adjusted and the end product meets the quality standards. You work according to strict procedures, identify deviations and intervene in case of breakdowns or process deviations.
Depending on the company, you work in day shift or shift work and are part of a team led by a team leader or production manager.
Common tasks:
- Setting up, operating and checking machines or production lines
- Converting machines in case of product changes
- Carrying out quality checks and registering measured values
- Solving simple malfunctions and performing first-line maintenance
- Coordinating with technical service in case of more complex problems
- Supplying materials and checking stock levels
- Ensuring order, tidiness and safety in the workplace
- Reporting deviations or points of improvement to the supervisor
As an operator, you are the one who literally keeps production running.

- Plastics and recycling - extruding, processing or sorting materials
At each of these companies, safety, accuracy and process knowledge are key. We will help you find the right match based on your experience and preferences.
