Before sunrise, you step onto a production floor built for precision. Our automated fillers hum to life as you dial in settings, verify labels, and stage pails for the next run. You keep an eye on quality checks, adjust for accuracy, and coordinate with maintenance the moment a sensor needs attention. Between batches, you tidy the line, move finished goods with a powered industrial truck (PIT), and help the team shave seconds off each cycle—safely, every time.

• Contribute to continuous improvement to boost line uptime and throughput.
• Pitch in with additional tasks that support the operation.

• Age 18+ and able to work overtime when required.
• Read, understand, and follow English work instructions and SOPs.
• Wear required PPE: hard hat, FR uniform, steel/composite‑toe shoes, gloves, safety glasses, and related protection.
• Comfortable in environments with temperature fluctuations.
• Physically able to stand for long periods, climb stairs, bend, reach, and lift; routinely handle transfer hoses, drums, and similar items.
• Lift up to 50 lbs safely.
