The role

You own the packaging line from setup to shutdown. Last stop before a can of Bobbie reaches a family. Fast-moving, hands-on, and mechanical — if the line goes down, you troubleshoot. If a can doesn't look right, you stop it.

What you'll do every shift

• Set up, operate, and maintain filling machines, seamers, conveyors, and labeling equipment per SOP
• Run quality checks on every batch — labels, codes, seal integrity, weigh checks
• Troubleshoot mechanical issues in real time; document corrective actions
• Follow Lockout/Tagout (LOTO) procedures for all equipment work
• Complete batch records and work orders accurately — Batch Correct First Time standard
• Clean packaging equipment and conveyor lines; maintain GMP throughout

A good fit if…

• You've run a production or packaging line, operated machinery, or worked in a warehouse or manufacturing environment
• You like hands-on mechanical work and feel ownership over your equipment
• You stay focused and precise during fast, repetitive runs — not just at the start of the shift
• You have no manufacturing background but you're mechanical by nature, detail-oriented, and show up every day

What the canning floor is actually like

• Loud — high-speed canning equipment runs continuously; hearing protection is required and provided
• Fast-paced — the line doesn't slow down; your focus needs to stay on for the full shift
• Physical — you'll regularly lift finished product cases and equipment components up to 60 lbs
• Clean but industrial — gowning requirements apply the moment you step on the floor

Shift preference

All three shifts are available. When you apply, rank your shift preference. We'll match you based on availability and what works for both of us. Being open to more than one shift means a faster offer.

• 2nd shift — afternoons/evenings, $2/hr more, good if you need mornings free
• 3rd shift — permanent overnight (not a rotation), $2/hr more, best if you naturally run on a night schedule

What we need from you

• Available every scheduled shift — we use a point-based attendance system; exceeding the threshold is a separation event
• On your feet 8–12 hours and lifting up to 60 lbs repeatedly — this is physically demanding work, every shift
• Comfortable following written SOPs and completing batch records accurately in real time
• Able to meet GMP requirements: hair net, no jewelry, no nail polish, no fragrances, dedicated footwear — every shift
• Manufacturing experience preferred (food, beverage, pharma, military, trades) — we will train the right person

The honest picture: Regulated infant formula facility. FDA inspects. Concrete floors, loud equipment, continuous production. You gown in every shift — hair net, no jewelry, no nail polish, no fragrances, dedicated footwear. No phone on the floor.

If consistent attendance is a challenge right now, this role isn't the right fit — and that's okay to know before you apply.
