As an Operator in our Quality & Cold End Department, you’ll play a crucial role in the final phase of the production process. This is where bottles are gradually cooled, inspected for defects and coated for protection; all under your watchful eye.

During your general training, you’ll discover every step of the process. Afterwards, you’ll continue with a role-specific training in the sub-department that best matches your skills and interests. Once your training period in day shifts is completed, you’ll start working in a 6-shift system, designed to help you maintain a healthy work-life balance.

Ciner Glass Belgium is not your average company, and this is not your average job. Here, you don’t just work with glass; you help create something that lasts. Are you ready to be part of a brand-new story in a company set to become operational in Q2 of 2026?
Are you ready to become a true Flessenier?
Are you looking for job satisfaction, or better yet, bottle happiness?

Responsibilities & Key Tasks

Within each of the operator positions, the emphasis of responsibilities and key tasks is a bit different. Below is more information on what to expect within our Quality & Cold End department:

This department operates independently of all other departments to ensure objectivity regarding quality. The Quality department plays a crucial role in ensuring the quality and safety of the glass bottles produced. Within the Cold End section, the formed glass is cooled, inspected, handled and packaged - that is, everything that happens after the forming and annealing of the glass.

• You perform quality checks during production regular checks on products during production (e.g. bottle thickness, weight, shape, cracks or air inclusions) as well as checking that products meet specifications and standards (such as ISO standards or customer specifications)
• You take care of visual inspection and automatic quality detection using automatic inspection systems that detect defects such as cracks, deformations or contamination
• You assess rejected products and determine whether they are real defects or false reports
• You are responsible for analyzing rejects and defects to find the cause (e.g. wrong temperature, wrong mould setting) and feedback to production to improve processes
• Performing physical (manual) tests on glass such as pressure tests, thermal shock resistance and chemical resistance, as well as color measurements or tests on coatings (such as barrier layers or decoration) are part of your duties
• You follow the flow around the application of coating (making the glass more scratch resistant, reducing friction between bottles, offering protection during further processing)
• You record the measurement results and deviations in the context of problem solving, analyses and traceability
• You solve first line failures independently
• For another type of product, you adjust the production line, set up camera positions and take care of the necessary parameterization in the various devices
