Job description

About Bobbie

Bobbie makes European-style organic infant formula manufactured end-to-end in the U.S., because we believe every parent deserves to feed their baby with confidence, without judgment and without compromise. No mystery ingredients. No shortcuts. Just clean, thoughtfully made formula that parents can trust.

But Bobbie has never been just a formula company. When the 2022 national infant formula shortage left parents across the country unable to feed their babies, we closed our storefront to new customers rather than leave a single existing family without formula. We went to Washington. We got loud. And we opened our Heath, Ohio manufacturing facility to make sure something like that could never happen again.

That's who we are, and that's what you'd be joining.

Bobbie for Change

Our advocacy arm, Bobbie for Change, exists because making great formula isn't enough if the systems around parenthood are still broken. We fight for paid federal parental leave, push for legislation to prevent future formula shortages, advocate for feeding equity, and support families navigating impossible situations, including donating formula to parents impacted by breast and gynecologic cancers through the Bobbie Breasties program.

We're a company that genuinely believes becoming a parent makes you an activist. The people who work here feel that too.

The Role

We're looking for a detail-oriented Processing Operator to follow Good Manufacturing Practices and standard operating procedures. This role is responsible for the manufacturing of powder infant formula products. This person will be operating industrial mixers, heat treatment systems, and dryers using HMI. The role will also be working cross-functionally with the processing and quality departments, and when necessary the warehouse and canning line.

Please note this position is for the 2nd shift from 3:00pm - 11:30pm

What you will accomplish:

• Lifting and physical handling of raw ingredients during the weighing, staging and manufacturing processes
• Operation of scales, portable pumps, container rinsers, homogenizers, dry blending, and any other related processing equipment
• Learn and perform hand cleaning, clean-in-place (CIP), heat treatment systems, cleaning-out-of-place (COP), routine housekeeping, and other cleaning and sanitization tasks.
• Interact with computer systems that are integrated into the manufacturing process, along with word order documentation of the manufacturing steps
• Preparation, operation, monitoring, and documentation of bulk ingredients for blending operations, heat treatment processes, controlled weigh system of batch ingredients, and any other applicable systems and documents that are required to operate these systems
• Operation, monitoring, and documentation of a computer-controlled clean-in-place (CIP) system utilized for manufacturing equipment

What we would like you to have:

• Attention to detail
• Sanitation experience
• Previous food manufacturing experience preferred
• Ability to lift up to 50 lbs throughout the shift

You’re inspired by our core values:

• Be Radical - We are change makers, rule breakers and stigma shakers. We are unapologetically bold and use our megaphone for good.
• Nurture the Tension - Parenthood is full of healthy tension, and so is building a company. We embrace the unknowns, practice humility and are a culture of learners.
• Deliver Ounce by Ounce - Our customers have entrusted us to feed their babies. We lose sleep over the details, so they don’t have to.
• Don’t Assume - We embrace our unique perspectives, withhold judgment, and find beauty in the paths that brought us all to Bobbie. Our strength is celebrating each other and our collective voice.

Compensation

The compensation for this role is $24.00/hour plus a $2 shift differential.

Benefits

• Employee medical, dental, and vision insurance 100% covered by Bobbie, with options to add dependents through a subsidized pre-tax deduction
• 401k with match
• 15 paid days off
• 16 paid company holidays
• Snacks and beverages provided
• Subsidized meals
• Boot reimbursement
• One year subscription to Bobbie or Baby's Only
