Who You Are

You take pride in putting in a hard day's work and value being rewarded for it. You value an organization that is doing good by its people, the planet, and building prosperity. If this sounds like you so far, below are some of the other characteristics of our current Team Members:

• Reliable & Dependable: You like to see a job well done and will ensure that things are done the “right” way. You show up for all scheduled shifts on time and ready to work.

What You'll Be Doing

At Fresh Prep, every day may be different! While we are currently in “growth mode”, things are becoming more and more streamlined. This means that your first day may not look like your third or your tenth, but each day you will be doing some of the following:

• You will be working your shift in an area where the temperature is maintained between 4-6 degrees Celsius (Yes, that is 4 degrees above freezing).
• The main activity in this department is the picking of our customers' customized food orders and combining them together in a shipping container, sorted by our delivery drivers' routes.
• You could be selecting items from our storage containers and combining all the different items ordered by our customers onto a sortation rack for combining into our shipping containers.
• You will also be learning to process our customers orders into our shipping containers by driver's routes.
• This department works on a just in time delivery system so it is very fast-paced in meeting specific volumes and delivery windows.
• You will be required to work in a safe manner and to assist in maintaining a clean, healthy, food-safe production facility.

What We Are Looking For

• Previous experience in food manufacturing, warehouse, or high-paced environment preferred.
• Able to work in a high-paced warehouse environment with strict deadlines.
• Comfortable working in a temperature controlled environment. The warehouse is kept at between 0 to 10 degrees Celsius.
• Able to stand on your feet for 8 hour shifts.
• Ability to lift objects up to 30 lbs. (13 kg)

What You Can Expect
