Temporary- Lead Packer BTH Team B

Job Description

Job Description

Meet Charlie (Charlotte or Charles – fictional Packing Lead) .

Charlie walks into work like a boss (because they kind of are). They’ve got one eye on the seasoner, one on the scale, and both hands ready to get busy before the shift even starts. Sam doesn’t just pack chips and support the equipment… they pack purpose, positivity, and people-first leadership into every box. Sam is our Packing Lead.

Now… we need another Charlie. Maybe it’s you.

Your Mission (should you choose to accept it):

You’ll be the frontline captain of our packing operations. Think: snacks meet strategy. You’ll keep things moving smoothly, from the time the chips leave the kettle room, through splicing film like a snack ninja, to coaching the packing crew like a champ. Your work touches every chip bag we send out, so no pressure (okay, maybe some pressure).

Dieffenbach’s Team C works Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday from 6:50am to 7:00pm (packing Leads may start a few minutes earlier)

You’ll Crush It If You:

• Believe communication, collaboration, and high-fiving teammates are all critical to success.
• Know how to lead with care and maybe a little humor when the day calls for it.
• Don’t freak out at the sight of a metal detector. In fact, you run it like a pro.
• Are cool with getting a little greasy, moving fast, and working in snack-scented wonderland.
• Think “cross-shift collaboration” sounds fun, not frightening.
• Being bilingual (English & Spanish)

On a Serious (But Still Fun) Note:

We’re looking for someone who brings more than just technical skills to the table. You should be someone who:

• Drives a positive culture, because grumps kill productivity.
• Loves snacks, but loves people, process, and standard work more.
• Embraces continuous improvement, even if it means admitting others have a good idea that drives positive change.
• Is excited for and can meet ethe expectations of the “official Packing Lead Job Description ”

What You’ll Do:

• Monitor and operate packaging equipment, including weights, sealing, film splicing, and date coding
• Support your team to meet quality, safety, and productivity goals
• Engage across shifts to promote a consistent, collaborative, and positive work environment
• Lead by example by maintaining a clean, safe, and organized work area
• Perform metal detector checks, adjust machines, and ensure proper product flow and scale accuracy
• Change film rolls and formers as needed; troubleshoot minor equipment issues
• Ensure correct packing according to customer specifications (seals, weights, date codes, labels, etc.)
• Monitor and adjust seasoning levels for quality and consistency
• Inspect and hand-pack product at line speed with attention to detail
• Handle product rework and repacking tasks as necessary
• Use forklifts, pallet jacks, and other equipment as trained
• Keep accurate documentation and complete logs on quality checks, production data, and inspections
• Communicate clearly and professionally with team members and supervisors
• Clean and sanitize production equipment and work areas per food safety standards
• Provide lunch and break coverage to team members
• Perform other duties as assigned by leadership

What We’re Looking For:

• A team player with a strong work ethic and positive attitude
• Comfortable working in a fast-paced, physically demanding environment
• Prior food manufacturing or packing line experience preferred (but not required)
• Leadership experience or a desire to grow into a leadership role
• Ability to lift up to 50 lbs. and work on your feet for a 12-hour shift
• Willingness to work in hot, loud, and occasionally wet conditions
• Knowledge of GMPs, HACCP, and food safety best practices a plus
