Job Full Description

DIRECT HIRE – Machine Operator (2nd & 3rd Shift)

Food Manufacturing | Full Benefits Day 1

$22/hr + $2/hr Shift Differential | 100% Employer-Paid Benefits

This is a DIRECT HIRE opportunity—not temporary and not temp-to-hire. You are hired directly by the company and start earning full benefits on Day 1.

If you’re looking for a stable night-shift role in food manufacturing where quality, safety, and purpose truly matter, this is the opportunity for you. As a Canning Operator, you’ll play a critical role on a high-performing production team, operating modern canning and powder packaging equipment in a clean, GMP-driven environment.

This role is ideal for someone who is mechanically inclined, detail-oriented, and takes pride in doing things right the first time.

What You’ll Do

  • Operate and monitor high-speed canning and powder packaging equipment
  • Set up, run, and maintain filling, seaming, and packing machinery
  • Follow SOPs to ensure product quality, efficiency, and consistency
  • Perform routine quality checks (labeling, coding, seals, weight verification)
  • Troubleshoot mechanical and operational issues and take corrective action
  • Perform maintenance and repairs using proper lockout/tagout procedures
  • Maintain GMP, sanitation, and food safety standards at all times
  • Complete batch work orders accurately (Batch Correct First Time)
  • Lift and handle materials weighing 55 lbs or more
  • Provide backup support for alternate canning operations as needed

What We’re Looking For

  • 4+ years of food or beverage manufacturing experience preferred
    (Infant formula experience is a plus)
  • Strong safety mindset and commitment to a safety-first culture
  • Reliable, punctual, and able to work with urgency
  • Flexibility to work overnights, overtime, and weekends as needed
  • Mechanical aptitude with strong troubleshooting skills
  • Ability to work independently and as part of a team
  • Strong verbal and written communication skills
  • Ability to stand, walk, reach, kneel, and work with tools for 8–10 hour shifts

Our Values

  • Be Radical – Bold, innovative, and purpose-driven
  • Nurture the Tension – We grow through learning and healthy challenge
  • Deliver Ounce by Ounce – Quality and consistency matter
  • Don’t Assume – Every voice and perspective counts

Pay & Benefits (Start Day 1)

  • $22/hour + $2/hour night shift differential
  • 100% employer-paid medical, dental, and vision insurance
  • 401(k) with company match
  • 15 paid days off + 10 paid company holidays
  • Boot reimbursement
  • Snacks, beverages, and subsidized meals
  • One-year product subscription benefit

Why This Role Stands Out

Direct hire from day one
Full benefits immediately
Long-term stability in food manufacturing
Clean, modern, safety-focused environment

If you want real stability, real benefits, and a company that invests in you from day one, this is the role to pursue.
