Job Description

This role focuses on carefully packing lip balm and other personal care and pharmaceutical products into boxes on a fast-paced production line. You count and verify product quantities, perform basic weighing and quality checks, and help ensure that every box meets strict labeling and product standards while maintaining a steady workflow throughout your shift.

Responsibilities

• Pack lip balm and other personal care and pharmaceutical products into boxes according to established procedures and production targets.
• Count out the correct quantity of products for each box and verify that counts are accurate before sealing or moving boxes forward.
• Weigh boxes on designated lines to confirm correct product counts and ensure they meet specified weight requirements.
• Perform visual quality checks on products and packaging, ensuring labels are applied correctly and are free of bubbles, misprints, and other defects.
• Verify that expiration dates and other critical information on labels are accurate and clearly visible.
• Maintain a consistent, fast-paced work speed to keep up with the production line and avoid slowing down overall operations.
• Stand for the entire shift while working at the production line and follow all safety and quality guidelines.
• Handle basic packing tools and materials, such as clear bags, calculators, knives, swipe cards, and pens, in accordance with facility rules.
• Work independently and as part of a team, particularly on smaller shifts, to ensure production goals are met without direct, constant oversight.
• Follow facility policies for storing personal items in lockers and keeping the work area organized and free of unnecessary belongings.

Essential Skills

• Experience in packing, production, or general labor roles in a fast-paced environment.
• Ability to accurately count products and verify quantities for each box.
• Capability to use scales to weigh boxes and confirm correct product counts.
• Strong attention to detail for inspecting labels, identifying bubbles, misprints, and incorrect expiration dates.
• Ability to stand for the entire shift and maintain a steady work pace on a production line.
• Reliability in following established procedures and meeting production targets.
• Comfort with repetitive tasks while maintaining quality and consistency.
• Ability to work independently, especially on smaller shifts with limited supervision.

Additional Skills & Qualifications

• Previous experience as a packer or in packaging, picking, loading, unloading, palletizing, or stacking roles.
• Experience in a manufacturing or production environment.
• Basic ability to use simple tools such as a calculator, knife, swipe card, and pen during daily tasks.
• Comfort working in a corporate headquarters manufacturing setting.
• Willingness to adapt to different shift dynamics, including quieter third shifts that require more independent work.

Why Work Here?

Employees earn one day of vacation for every 400 hours worked, supporting time off and rest. The facility operates as both a manufacturing site and corporate headquarters, offering exposure to a professional, well-organized environment. Teams are trusted to work independently, especially on smaller shifts, fostering responsibility and autonomy.

Work Environment

The work environment is very fast paced, with employees standing for the entire shift while working on a production line in a manufacturing facility that also serves as the corporate headquarters. On the first day, you receive a locker where all personal items must be stored; you may carry a clear bag containing only work-related items such as a calculator, knife, swipe card, and pen. The third shift is smaller and quieter, with only a supervisor present, so the team works more independently while maintaining production and quality standards.
