Help maintain a clean, safe, organized production environment

Participate in continuous improvement activities designed to reduce downtime, waste, and production variation

What We're Looking For

Strong candidates will have:

Previous experience operating manufacturing, packaging, food production, or industrial equipment preferred

Strong attention to detail

Ability to follow standardized processes and operating instructions

Comfort working with production goals, measurements, and performance expectations

Ability to recognize when something does not look, sound, or perform correctly

Strong reliability and attendance

A positive, team-oriented approach

Ability to work effectively in a changing and growing manufacturing environment

Ability to communicate concerns and ask questions when additional support is needed

Basic computer, tablet, or production data-entry skills

Language Skills

  • For 2nd Shift Machine Operators, bilingual Spanish/English capability is strongly preferred and will be especially valuable when working with production teams, supporting training, and communicating operational expectations.

The Person Who Will Thrive Here

You'll likely enjoy this role if you:

Like working with equipment and understanding how things work

Take pride in hitting production goals

Pay attention to details others sometimes miss

Want to know the numbers behind how your machine or line is performing

Enjoy troubleshooting and solving problems

Stay positive when production priorities change

Understand the importance of consistency and standardized work

Want to be part of a growing operation where your ideas and performance can make a visible difference

Why Join Us?
