Join Zoetis Lincoln as a Night-Shift Packaging Pro

When your shift begins at 10:00 pm, you step onto a clean, modern manufacturing floor where precision and purpose matter. At Zoetis—the world’s largest manufacturer and supplier of animal pharmaceuticals—you’ll help package high‑quality medicines that support the health of dogs, cats, and livestock. Our Lincoln, NE site is recognized among Nebraska’s safest companies and has been a trusted employer in the community for years.

A night on our packaging line

You’ll review batch records, set up a PLC‑controlled packaging line, and verify vision systems before the first carton runs. Throughout the night, you’ll monitor in‑process devices, adjust equipment, and complete concurrent documentation. You’ll keep the area spotless, suit up per gowning policies, and follow SOPs/cGMPs to the letter. When something looks off, you’ll pause the process, escalate appropriately, and help the team get back on track safely.
