Job description

Some jobs ask you to think fast. This one asks you to work with your hands, keep your head clear, and take real pride in doing something cleanly and well, piece after piece, shift after shift.

If you do your best work after the sun goes down, and you want steady work, a fair wage and a crew that genuinely relies on you, keep reading.

The Role

At a leading poultry processing plant in Harbeson, Delaware, you will work a hands on station on a fast moving production line, trimming meat and removing bones and cartilage with speed and care. The pace is real and the standards are high, because what leaves your station is what ends up on someone's table. This is a night shift role for people who like the quieter rhythm of an evening crew.

What You Will Do

• Trim leg meat and remove bones and cartilage at your workstation while keeping pace with the line
• Hold a steady rhythm of about six pieces a minute without giving up quality
• Meet or beat the yield standards set for your department
• Work safely with knives and other hand tools made for the job
• Wear, use and maintain all required personal protective equipment
• Stay on your feet for a full shift and keep the line moving
• Rotate to other stations in the department when the team needs you
• Show up ready and keep your attendance record strong
• Take on other duties as they come up, since no two days run exactly the same

What It Takes

• Previous deboning or meat processing experience is nice to have, but it is not a must
• Comfort standing, reaching, bending and working with your hands for a full shift
• Ability to lift up to seventy pounds when the job calls for it
• Readiness to work safely and confidently with knives, scissors and other cutting tools
• A steady focus that keeps pace and quality high with safety always first
• Reliable attendance, because your crew counts on you being there
• Comfort working in wet, cold and noisy conditions

Schedule and Flexibility

This is full time work on the night shift, with a start time of 4:45 PM. A shift runs about nine hours, so you will know when your day begins and you can plan around it. Once you hit your groove on the line, the rhythm is yours to set.

Compensation

Pay starts at $16.10 per hour. It is a fair wage for skilled, hands on work that keeps food moving from the plant to the table, and it reflects the real effort you put in every night.

Work Environment

You will be working in a food production plant, on your feet for most of the shift and using your hands, arms and whole body to keep up with the line. Expect a mix of wet, cold and noisy conditions, along with the odors that come with poultry processing. Safety gear is provided, and keeping you protected on the floor is taken seriously. You should be comfortable lifting up to seventy pounds and repeating the same motions with precision throughout your shift.

Ready?

If you like work you can see and feel, and a team that notices when you show up strong, this one is worth a closer look. Bring your focus and we will take it from there.
