Does this sound like you?

• Do you document everything—logs, reports, and checks—so the data tells the story?

What you’ll do

• Prepare packaging components with hand tools and basic mechanical skill.
• Monitor quality to FDA and CGMP (Current Good Manufacturing Practices) requirements.
• Perform routine inspections for defects and inconsistencies.
• Capture accurate records of packaging activities (logs, reports, checklists).
• Use forklift and warehouse experience to handle inventory and move materials safely.
• Pitch in on assembly tasks tied to the packaging process.

What you’ll bring

• High School diploma, GED, or equivalent experience.
• Basic driving skills; forklift operation is a plus.
• General computer competency.
• Manufacturing experience—especially in food-safe environments—is a plus.
• Self-directed problem solver with strong troubleshooting and critical thinking skills; able to work safely without supervision.
• Ownership of your area and equipment, with a teamwork mindset.
• Initiative to create and execute continuous improvement projects.
• Fluent English communication (read, write, speak) to collaborate across departments.
