You'll operate equipment according to standard procedures, perform quality checks throughout the production process, and ensure compliance with safety, sanitation, and Good Manufacturing Practices standards. The role requires physical capability—lifting up to 60 pounds, climbing stairs, and standing for 10 to 12-hour shifts in a cooled facility (45 degrees or below)—along with attention to detail in monitoring product quality and documenting any production delays. You'll also cross-train across different positions and assist maintenance with basic troubleshooting when equipment issues arise.
