Material Handler-1st Shift

Production General Full Time Iron Ridge, WI, US

4 days ago Requisition ID: 1755

Every rub, sauce, and seasoning we make passes through someone’s hands before it reaches a pitmaster, a butcher shop, or a home cook firing up the smoker. In this role, those hands are yours.

We’re looking for a reliable, self-motivated Material Handler who takes pride in getting it right the first time. You’ll keep our production floor running by making sure the right materials are in the right place at the right time, and that finished products leave our dock in perfect shape. If you like staying busy, solving problems on the fly, and seeing the results of your work every day, you’ll fit right in.

What You’ll Do

• Receive, inspect, and verify incoming materials, supplies, and finished goods, checking that everything meets specifications and that the paperwork matches.
• Operate a forklift, hand trucks, and skids to move, store, and load materials safely and efficiently.
• Enter materials and products into our inventory system and keep First In, First Out (FIFO) rotation on track.
• 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 work independently or as part of a team.
• 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.
