• Support line operation reporting activities such as TPM, 5S, quality assessments, line release audits, and other production documentation requirements.
• Assist with changeovers between products, including line setup, material changes, and quality verifications.
• Handle materials and finished goods, including loading boxes onto pallets and moving product as needed within the production area.
• Collaborate with peers to maintain excellent communication and teamwork, following the values and expectations set for the production team.
• Adhere to all safety, cleanliness, and process guidelines, including dress code and facility rules, to protect product integrity and personal safety.
• Consistently demonstrate reliable attendance and punctuality, understanding that performance and attendance history influence long-term opportunities.
• Participate in training and performance feedback processes designed to build skills, improve results, and support progression into more automated or advanced roles over time.

• Ability to lift up to 50 lbs when loading full boxes onto pallets and to consistently lift product up to 33 lbs during regular tasks.
• Experience in environments where performance is measured and monitored, such as production, manufacturing, or fast-moving service industries.
• Experience with basic packaging, packing orders, labeling, material handling, and warehouse production tasks.
• Familiarity with general labor and production activities, including assembly, inventory handling, loading, and mechanical-oriented tasks.
• Proven job tenure of 1–2 years in previous roles without unexplained large gaps in employment.
• Ability to maintain focus and accuracy during repetitive tasks over long shifts while meeting crisp and constant performance measures.

Work Environment

The work takes place in a very clean, climate-controlled, state-of-the-art facility in Colonial Heights that houses packaging operations, warehouse space, and a dedicated training center. The larger site will continue to expand, adding more equipment and square footage, and permanent team members will have the opportunity to apply for roles at an additional location as operations grow and become more automated. This is the first production group on the night shift for the Joker Manual Line, so reliability and consistency are especially important. You will work 12-hour shifts in an assembly line format with rotations that include approximately four hours of standing, four hours of sitting, and time at the end of the line to palletize materials. The facility is climate controlled and provides a canteen and breakroom with food and drink machines, as well as cubbies for personal belongings. Strict production floor rules apply: pockets must be empty; cell phones must be kept in vehicles and are not allowed on the production floor; candy, cigarettes, and even empty wrappers are prohibited. There is a defined dress code that supports safety and product quality: no jewelry, phones, fake nails, fake lashes, or nail polish, and no hoodies are permitted. Team members will wear the same color t-shirt and are required to wear appropriate work pants rather than leggings or sweatpants. The environment is structured, organized, and designed to support high-quality, safe production with clear expectations for conduct, cleanliness, and performance.
