Your Job

Our Georgia-Pacific facility in Palatka, FL is seeking a Fiberline Process Technician.

This position is an opportunity for a motivated hard-working individual to learn and advance their knowledge of the paper making process.

At Georgia-Pacific we believe in creating a safe work environment where employees feel empowered to complete tasks in a safely manner.

Our Team

Fiberline Technicians work a rotating 12-hour shift on a schedule that will rotate days, nights, weekends, holidays, and overtime hours.

Our work environment is primarily outdoors or in non-climate-controlled locations that can be hot, humid, and/or cold.

The Fiberline department processes raw chips into pulp used on the mill's paper machines.

This chemical-intensive operation includes the turpentine recovery process and generation of chlorine dioxide in the on-site R10 generator.

As such, this position requires employees to wear PPE in addition to millwide PPE requirements.

These items include, but are not limited to, chemical suits, chemical/thermal jackets, and a face shield.

Due to a respirator needing to be used daily, we require candidates to have a clean-shaven face to ensure the respirator can correctly seal to the face.
