Machine Operator (PMO) BTH Team B

Full Time Bethel, PA, US

2 days ago Requisition ID: 1251

You’ve always been the hands‑on type—the kind of person who knows exactly how things should run, and more importantly, how to fix them when they don’t. Maybe you were the kid who rebuilt their bike three times just for fun—or maybe you’re the adult who finds joy in fine‑tuning machines and making the gears of a team click perfectly.

Now, imagine channeling that skill into one of the most satisfying jobs ever: helping turn fresh ingredients into perfectly sealed, seasoned, and shipped bags of crunchy happiness. Sound like your kind of action scene?

About You:

You’re the kind of person who notices things—like when the seasoning’s slightly off or the date code is missing a digit.

"Organized under pressure" is basically your superpower.

You believe machines have moods—and you’re really good at interpreting them.

You've got hustle, pride in your work, and you’re always the first to jump in when your team needs a hand.

What You'll Be Doing (aka Your Daily Mission):

Run the machines, own the process – You'll operate our packing machines like a boss, ensuring accurate weights, seal integrity, and just the right amount of seasoning.

Pre-production prep – Get machines ready before the shift starts and fine‑tune them on the fly for different product runs.

Change it up – Switch out rolls of film, adjust formers, and make quick adjustments to keep production smooth.

Seasoning scientist – Set and monitor the flow to make sure every chip gets the flavor it deserves.

Inspector mode: ON – Manually check, inspect, and hand‑pack bags to keep quality top‑notch.

Box it, sticker it, ship it – Assemble boxes, apply labels, and pack cases to customer specs like a packaging ninja.

Be a clean machine – Sanitize equipment and keep your area (and yourself) production‑ready.

Safety + Food Quality = Always – Follow all GMPs, safety protocols, and food quality standards.

Fast‑paced

Occasionally wet and oily

Always full of energy, teamwork, and the satisfying smell of fresh snacks

You’ll Be a Great Fit If You:

Have experience in manufacturing or machine operation (or are just quick to learn and eager to grow)

Are comfortable lifting, bending, and standing for long periods

Enjoy solving small problems quickly and keeping production moving

Like working on a team where everyone’s got each other’s back

Ready to Help Keep the Snack World Turning?

Pay: $20.25/hr. Pay includes a $19.50 base pay and a $0.75 shift differential.

Employment is contingent upon successful completion of a post-offer background check and drug screening in accordance with applicable law.
