Keep the Machines Running and the Flavor Flowing
At Sandridge Crafted Foods, we're passionate about fresh, flavorful food—and it all starts with precision, performance, and the people who make it happen. That’s where you come in.
We’re on the hunt for a sharp-thinking, hands-on Production Maintenance Technician—someone who thrives on troubleshooting, lives for a challenge, and keeps cool when the pressure’s on. You won’t just fix things—you’ll be the hero behind the scenes, making sure our equipment stays finely tuned and our production lines stay unstoppable.
If you’re the kind of person who sees a machine and thinks “challenge accepted,” who can sense a glitch before it strikes, and who takes pride in being the quiet force that keeps everything moving, this is your moment. Step into a role where your skills matter, your mindset is valued, and your impact is felt every single day.
Ready to power up your career? Let’s get to work.
