In my current role as a machine operator I am responsible for setting up the machine to ensure running correct specification as instructed on the job sheets. Other responsibilities when running the machine are maintaining the quality of the carpet at all times looking for any sort of default that could occur with the yarn or possible faults from the machine like gauge parts. if there is a gauge part problem I am required to replace broken or damaged parts under the machine like loopers, reeds and knife blocks. If a yarn fault occurs I mend the carpet to ensure the quality of the carpet.

I have previously helped out with the training new recruits on the machines ensuring they are comfortable and confident on all aspects of running the machine.
