Processing Operator- WM Team C

1 VARIABLE DIRECT FULL TIME Womelsdorf, PA, US

5 days ago Requisition ID: 1288

You're the kind of person who gets the job rolling-literally. From the moment the raw potatoes arrive, you're hands-on, focused, and ready to keep things running smooth and steady. Peeling isn't just a step in the process- it's the first step, and it matters. A lot.

This role is for someone who takes pride in their work, keeps a sharp eye on the details, and isn't afraid to get a little wet, a little oily, or a little loud. (It's a snack factory, after all.) If you like working with your hands, staying active, and being the person the team can rely on to keep things moving-you might be exactly who we need.

This Might Be You If:

You like fast-paced work that keeps you on your feet and in motion

You take pride in doing things right, even if no one's watching

You're good at spotting issues and even better at solving them

You enjoy being part of a team that communicates, supports each other, and works hard

You feel at home around machines (or are excited to learn how they work)

You're cool working in a warm, noisy, and sometimes messy environment

What You'll Be Doing:

Unloading raw product and loading it into hoppers for peeling

Running the peeler station in the basement and monitoring its performance

Sorting out defective product and foreign materials before they hit the line

Communicating with kettle operators to stay on track with production

Managing hopper levels to ensure a consistent product flow

Operating conveyors and other powered equipment safely

Monitoring raw material quality and upholding food safety guidelines

Clearing out waste bins and prepping the area for the next shift

Accurately filling out logs and required paperwork

Reporting any equipment issues or product concerns to the right team

Using pallet jacks, forklifts, loaders, and stretch wrappers (training provided!)

Cleaning and sanitizing equipment and work areas

Supporting your team by helping during breaks or shift transitions

Taking on other duties as needed by your supervisor

What You'll Need:

Ability to work in a warm, noisy, fast-moving environment

Physical stamina to stand, bend, lift (up to 50 lbs), and stay active for 12 hours

A focus on safety, cleanliness, and doing the job right

Clear communication and teamwork skills

Experience with machinery or food production is helpful- not required

Forklift certification is a plus (or willingness to be trained)

If you're ready to start strong, keep things flowing, and be a key part of how our snacks get made-this might be your role.

Let's peel, pack, and power through-together.

Pay: $20.25 per hour with a base pay of $19.25 and a $1.00 shift differential.

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