Shape Every Count. Power a Food Supply Chain.

A Day in the Life

Start your morning confirming that raw and packaging materials match the system. Move through aisles, verify locations, weigh and label items, and reconcile counts for finished goods and any non-conforming inventory. When numbers don’t line up, you’ll dive into the system to investigate transactions, document discrepancies, and flag issues to supervisors—then help pinpoint the root cause so it doesn’t happen again. You’ll collaborate with receiving on put-aways, transfer materials to production, and safely operate forklifts and pallet jacks as needed. Throughout the day, you’ll maintain a clean, organized, and food-safe workspace, breaking down boxes and pallets to maximize space—and you’ll always wear required PPE.

• Operate forklifts, pallet jacks, and related equipment safely.
• Uphold food safety and company safety procedures; wear PPE at all times.
• Pitch in for overtime or weekend work when needed.
