Position Summary
This is an entry-level manufacturing role where you will train on how to process, dry, and package whey products used in food production. You'll learn different areas of the whey operation while working closely with experienced operators and supervisors. No prior whey experience is required-we provide training. This role supports safe production, product quality, and teamwork on the production floor.
What You'll Do
  • Learn and assist in multiple whey processing roles through on-the-job training
  • Support operators with equipment cleaning and sanitation (CIP)
  • Help prepare, clean, and maintain processing equipment
  • Monitor basic process conditions during start-up, shutdown, and cleaning cycles
  • Perform routine cleaning and simple preventative maintenance tasks
  • Move finished products to storage areas
  • Safely handle cleaning chemicals using proper PPE
  • Complete production and quality paperwork accurately
  • Follow all food safety, quality, and safety procedures
  • Communicate with team members and supervisors to keep operations running smoothly
  • Participate in required safety and job training

Schedule
  • Full-time, 12-hour shifts
  • Rotating schedule, including weekends (Double time on Sunday!)

What We're Looking For
  • Reliable and team-oriented
  • Willing to learn and take initiative
  • Detail-focused and safety-minded
  • Comfortable working in a fast-paced environment

This position does not supervise other employees.
Why Join Us?
✅ Career growth opportunities
✅ Predictable schedules - know your hours every week
✅ Clean, organized, food-grade environment (not a typical factory)
✅ Strong, stable local company
✅ Great people and team culture
Work Environment
  • Food manufacturing facility
  • Exposure to noise, moving equipment, vibration, and cleaning chemicals
  • Use of personal protective equipment (PPE) is required

Qualifications
