Optinova i Godby tillverkar och levererar polymerslang för krävande medicinskt bruk. Våra produkter är av högsta kvalitet och bidrar till att förbättra människors liv och säkerhet över hela världen. Vi är oerhört stolta över att kunna bidra till detta högre syfte, och vi letar hela tiden efter nya sätt att optimera våra produkter och hjälpa våra kunder. Man skulle kunna säga att vi är bäst på avancerad slang helt enkelt!
Tillsammans vill vi skapa den bästa arbetsplatsen där alla våra kollegor trivs, mår bra, kan växa och har kul. Vi har en stark företagskultur med en familjekänsla där vi som medarbetare värdesätter bl.a. respekt, vänlighet och ansvarstagande.

Arbetsuppgifterna för en Operatör varierar lite beroende på vilken produktionsavdelning du kommer till, vi gör vårt bästa för att matcha din profil mot våra behov. Arbetet kan t.ex. vara att ansvara för en produktionslinje där du förbereder maskinen för en tillverkningsorder, ställer in maskinen, övervakar produktionen, kontrollmäter, dokumenterar, felsöker vid behov, rengör samt eventuellt packar slutprodukten. Gillar du att ha fler bollar i luften och ett varierande arbete? Då kan arbetet vid någon av våra blåslinjer vara något för dig. Där ansvarar du för en eller flera linjer samtidigt, planerar ditt arbete självständigt, förbereder, kontrollmäter, synar, dokumenterar och packar produkterna. Allt arbete sker i så kallat renrum, alltså i en arbetsmiljö som är lugn, ren och behaglig.
Vem söker vi?
Vår ISO13485 certifiering tillsammans med din noggrannhet och precision är grunden för att vi ska kunna upprätthålla den kvalitet vi är kända för och stolta över.

Då kan du vara den vi söker! Har du någon form av teknisk utbildning eller erfarenhet av tekniskt arbete ser vi det som en klar merit, likaså erfarenhet av skiftesarbete. Goda kunskaper i svenska både i tal och skrift behövs då det är vårt arbetsspråk.
Vi lägger stort värde på dina personliga egenskaper och på att du vill utvecklas åt samma håll som vi.
Vi lär dig allt du behöver kunna på plats hos oss. Arbetet är tillsvidare, på heltid och i 3-skift (morgon/natt/kväll). Tillträde enligt överenskommelse.
Väckte vi ditt intresse?
