• Confirm shipping details and special instructions, and expedite shipments that keep production on schedule.
• Own product quality: nothing leaves the dock damaged.
• Follow GMP, HACCP, personal hygiene, and safety programs. Here, we live by Protect What Matters - People safety. Food safety.
• Keep the work area clean and safe by clearing and properly disposing of scrap bracing, cardboard, and strapping.
• Pitch in on other tasks as needed. No two days look exactly the same.

What You Bring

• Strong attention to detail and solid organizational skills.
• Clear verbal communication. You keep your team and supervisor in the loop.
• Good math skills for counts, weights, and inventory accuracy.
• Flexibility to jump between tasks and manage your time well in a fast-paced environment.

• Ability to lift, carry, and climb with up to 60 lbs consistently, and to bend, stand, walk, sit, and climb frequently throughout the shift.
• Forklift experience required.

Why Join Us

You'll report directly to our Production Supervisor and play a real part in keeping a growing food company moving. We're family-owned and hands-on, and we believe in building it right and making it last. Your work matters here, and people notice.
