Job Description

Position Overview

At Bliss Life Candy, we don’t just make candy—we engineer premium, innovative confections. We are looking for a sharp, proactive Production Assistant & Line Operator to join our tight-knit manufacturing team.

This is not a position for someone who wants to stand in one spot and wait for instructions. We are seeking a capable, self-motivated individual with strong common sense who actively looks for ways to be helpful. If you are someone who notices a bottleneck on a production line, figures out a solution, and jumps right in to help the team keep moving, you belong here.

Key Responsibilities

• Active Line Support: Assist with daily candy manufacturing operations, including cooking, machine monitoring, batch scaling, and packaging lines.
• Proactive Problem Solving: Monitor the flow of the production line. Anticipate the next step in the process and step in to help teammates before being asked.
• Machine & Station Maintenance: Help keep specialized candy-making machinery running smoothly by ensuring raw ingredients are fed properly and output areas stay clear.
• Quality Control: Maintain an alert eye on product consistency, ensuring our high-quality standards are met in every single batch.
• Cleanliness & Safety: Maintain a clean, organized workstation to comply with strict food safety standards. Clean and sanitize equipment during line changeovers.

What We Are Looking For (Core Competencies)

• High Initiative ("See a Problem, Fix a Problem"): You don’t wait around to be told what to do. You naturally look for ways to be useful and keep the facility moving efficiently.
• Strong Common Sense: You quickly understand how a process works, learn how the equipment functions, and can make smart decisions on the fly.
• Reliability & Energy: You show up on time, bring a positive attitude, and possess the physical stamina required to work in a fast-paced manufacturing environment.
• Team First Mindset: You enjoy working alongside others and take pride in helping the entire shift succeed.

Physical & Role Requirements

• Previous experience in food manufacturing, commercial baking, or a fast-paced warehouse/assembly environment is a major plus, but we will train the right person.
• Ability to stand, walk, bend, and lift up to 50 lbs comfortably throughout a shift.
• Strong verbal communication skills and a strict adherence to food safety and hygiene protocols.

This position is for 7am to 3:30pm , Monday through Friday. Major holidays off.
