As a Machine Operator, you'll have responsibility for running one or more complex machines in the plant.
You'll initially be trained on a single machine. But as you become an expert there, your pay will increase as you train on additional machines and increase your expertise and ability to operate more machines throughout the facility.
- You'll be responsible for managing the start-up or overseeing production machines on one or more lines.
- You'll be trained to operate machines such a the Liqwifier, Fuji, Brenton, commercial mixers, or packaging machines to ensure they run efficiently and safely.
You'll troubleshoot issues and work hand-in-hand with our Maintenance team as necessary.
- While work experience in manufacturing might be helpful, it's definitely not required! There are lots of prior jobs you may have had that would help you find success here.
- To be highly successful in this role, you'll need to understand how to properly and safely operate production machines and have some mechanical ability. This mechanical ability doesn't have to be in the traditional sense; you don't have to be trained as an actual mechanic. You could show this experience and aptitude in prior machine operator roles, by doing some basic auto or small engine maintenance at home, or even just doing home maintenance like changing out a light switch or fixture, doing remodeling yourself, or troubleshooting issues with small appliances around the house.
- You'll need to be able to work safely. It doesn't matter how much product we make if everyone in our facility doesn't go home safe and whole at the end of the day.
- You should have experience troubleshooting (looking at a problem to figure out the core issue and root cause) in your past work experience.
- You'll have great attendance with few unscheduled absences so your team knows they can always count on you. (But our benefit package also includes paid holidays, PTO, and other paid leaves of absence, so you can know that you'll be able to have a good balance between your home and professional life, so you'll be rewarded for that reliability).
Our roles are full-time and first shift. We generally work four, 10-hour days, Monday through Thursday, although some voluntary overtime is occasionally available on Fridays.
We have full benefits, including PTO, paid holidays, insurance, retirement through our employee stock ownership plan (ESOP), and lots more!
