Job Title: Entry Level - Packager/Bagger

Job Description

This role involves working on a production line to fill and seal 50-pound bags of ingredients, ensuring they are properly packaged and do not leak. Positions are currently available on 2nd and 3rd shift, with overtime sometimes. You will work closely with a small team in a fast-paced manufacturing environment that handles food-related products and follows FDA guidelines.

Responsibilities

Bag 50-pound quantities of ingredients into appropriate packaging with accuracy and consistency.

Operate a sealing machine to securely seal filled bags and ensure they do not leak.

Monitor packaging and sealing equipment during operation and respond quickly to any issues.

Lift and move 50+ pound bags repeatedly throughout the shift while following safe lifting practices.

Essential Skills

At least 6 months of manufacturing experience within the last year.

Ability to lift 50+ pounds consistently throughout the shift.

Why Work Here?

This opportunity offers shift differentials for 2nd and 3rd shift once hired on directly, as well as structured sign-on bonuses at 90 days and 6 months. You join a small, close-knit team where your contributions are visible and valued, and you can build hands-on experience in a stable manufacturing environment. Consistent overtime opportunities provide the chance to increase your earnings while developing solid production and machine operation skills.

Work Environment

The facility operates three shifts: 1st shift from 6:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m., 2nd shift from 2:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m., and 3rd shift from 10:00 p.m. to 6:00 a.m., Monday through Friday.
