• Work in either of two adjacent buildings and move between them as needed, including going outside mid-shift when required.

• Follow all Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) standards and food safety procedures while handling ingredients and working on the line.

Why Work Here?

You will join a smaller, close-knit facility that offers a friendly, mom-and-pop atmosphere while still providing opportunities for growth as the operation continues to expand. The environment is clean, welcoming, and filled with the pleasant smells of chocolate, caramel, and nuts. The company has earned recognition as a great place to work in consecutive years, reflecting a positive culture that values its people, supports development, and offers room to advance within the organization.

Work Environment

The role is based in a smaller food production facility that manufactures granola bars with nuts. The plant is clean and follows strict GMP standards, and the air often carries the scent of chocolate, caramel, and nuts.

The facility is generally temperature controlled, though it can become warm during the summer months. Work takes place on the second shift, with key activities scheduled around 1:30 (prep), 2:30 (mixing), and 3:00 (palletizing), each running for approximately eight hours. The position requires standing for the full shift, performing heavy, repetitive tasks, and occasionally moving between two adjacent buildings, which may involve going outside during the shift.
