Job Description

Step Into the Line: A Day in This Role

Picture your shift beginning at 4:00pm. You bring the line to life—starting up fillers, syncing case packers, dialing in cappers, checking case sealers, bringing palletizers online, and confirming labelers are ready. Throughout the evening you keep flow steady, tune speeds, and spot potential issues before they become downtime. By the time 2:30am arrives, you’ve safely produced quality product at target rates and partnered with teammates in Production, Quality, and Maintenance to make it happen.

Your Schedule and Pay

2nd Shift: 4:00pm – 2:30am, Monday–Thursday (with weekends per business need). Base hourly rate of $18.54 plus a $1.00 shift differential when working 2nd shift.

What You’ll Do

• Run high-speed filling and packaging equipment—fillers, case packers, cappers, case sealers, palletizers, and labelers—safely and efficiently at targeted line speeds.
• Start up, shut down, and adjust machine speeds and variable controls to maintain smooth throughput.
• Watch for jams, spills, or other line upsets and respond using approved procedures to reduce downtime and waste.
• Verify codes, labels, fill levels, torque, packaging integrity, and appearance; promptly escalate nonconformances to Quality or supervision.
• Accurately complete time, production, and downtime logs.
• Communicate clearly with downstream associates, supervisors, managers, and Maintenance; raise alerts when equipment performance changes.
• Continuously assess the area for hazards; follow and reinforce all safety and GMP programs.

What You’ll Bring

• High School Diploma or GED.
• 1+ year of manufacturing experience and an eagerness to learn machine operation in a fast-paced setting.
• Ability to follow written and verbal instructions, sustain attention to detail, and perform repetitive tasks accurately.
• Dependable attendance, strong teamwork, clear communication, and a positive approach.
• Flexibility to work overtime, weekends, or adjusted schedules as business needs require.

Physical Requirements

• Lift, push, pull, and carry up to 60 lbs as needed during the shift.
• Stand and walk for extended periods; frequently bend, twist, reach, and extend arms while operating equipment and handling materials.
• Sit, kneel, and crouch to access lower equipment areas and packaging materials.
• Work comfortably in temperature-controlled and non-temperature-controlled, high-noise environments while wearing required PPE (hearing protection, safety glasses, gloves, etc.).
• Visually inspect product, labels, and controls and hear audible alarms and equipment signals, with or without reasonable accommodation.

What You’ll Get

Competitive pay and a full benefits package: health, wellness, dental, vision, life, and disability insurance. Plan for tomorrow with retirement savings options including employer match. Grow your skills with Education Assistance supporting continued development.
