Help power better snacking as our Food Production Materials Picker

Location: Madison

Innovation drives everything we do at Cibo Vita. From our base in Totowa, NJ, we craft premium healthy snacks under the Nature’s Garden brand—thoughtfully combining quality ingredients with functional benefits so consumers can “Snack With Purpose.”

You arrive to a well-run production floor and stock your station with all required materials. As the line gets moving, you pack finished food products, label each package with accurate weight and product details, and place completed boxes on a pallet jack or hand cart. Throughout the shift, you shuttle materials to assigned machines based on work orders, keep the line supplied, and pull any items that look defective. Finished pallets move to staging or shipping, while unused materials are returned to the warehouse—everything documented in the system so inventory stays precise. You’ll operate an electric pallet jack and, if licensed, a forklift. The pace is brisk, the environment has moderate noise and temperature levels, and your focus on codes, expiry dates, lots, and quantities ensures every order leaves correct and on time.
