About this role
Golden Pet Manufacturing is hiring a machine operator for their night shift (6pm–6am) at their Richfield, Wisconsin facility. You'd be responsible for setting up and operating production machinery, performing safety checks, adjusting components to meet product specifications, and troubleshooting equipment issues as they arise. The role also includes routine maintenance tasks and cleaning to keep machines running smoothly throughout your shift.
The position pays $21 per hour and offers solid benefits: fully employer-paid medical, dental, and vision coverage for individual plans, a 401k with company match up to 3.5%, ten days of paid vacation, and six days of paid sick time. You'll also have access to an employee stock ownership plan and perks like a premium coffee machine and stocked vending machines on-site.
While prior manufacturing or machinery experience is preferred, Golden Pet emphasizes they welcome applications from candidates without it. The role demands physical stamina—you'll be on your feet regularly, reaching, stooping, and lifting up to 20 pounds—and a commitment to safety and quality standards. If you're a reliable team player comfortable with night-shift work and interested in learning production equipment in a pet food manufacturing setting, this could be a solid fit.
