Job description

Position Summary

Just 65 miles from Center City Philadelphia, Allentown is near many major Northeastern U.S. cities, which makes it an ideal location for manufacturing and distributing consumer goods. We utilize thermal processing and high-speed canning to produce varieties of our Friskies®, Beneful® and Pro Plan® brands—product lines that we have carefully produced, packaged, and shipped since 1958. Together, we contribute to Allentown's identity as a busy industrial city, as well as a beautiful rural environment that we are truly proud to call home. That’s why we not only make high quality food for pets but our factory is also doing our part to care for the environment we share, like conserving water, investing in renewable electricity and maintaining zero waste for disposal.

As a Factory Quality Technician, you’ll ensure compliance with Nestlé and Regulatory guidelines and specifications for production of safe pet food products. Audit incoming materials, check parameters and procedures, and complete inspections on finished products as you make an impact across our processes. You’ll isolate and detain all non-conforming pet food and lead corrective action planning and implementation for continuous improvement. This position will support our night shift on a continuous operations schedule.

• Perform physical and sensory tests on finished products accurately and precisely.
• Responsible for the proper use and maintenance of lab equipment including the maintenance, cleaning, and calibration.
• Work collaboratively with other lab associates to achieve shift, department, and factory objectives.
• Assist in preparation for compliance audits.
