Why Join Our Team?
Are you a mechanical problem-solver who enjoys variety in your workday? We are looking for a skilled Machine Operator who wants to do more than just push buttons. In this role, you aren’t just an operator; you are a vital part of our Maintenance Department, responsible for the heartbeat of our liquid filling production line and the integrity of our entire facility.

- Quality is Key: Conduct weight checks and seal integrity inspections to ensure every product leaving our dock is perfect.
- Keep Us Moving: Clear jams, manage tooling changeovers for different bottle sizes, and ensure the warehouse racking and dock doors are in top shape.
- Be the Expert: Use your mechanical knowledge to identify safety hazards, coordinate with outside contractors, and even procure parts from local vendors.
What You Bring to the Table
- Experience: At least 2 years of experience in machine operation and maintenance within a production or warehouse setting.
- Education: High School Diploma or GED.
- Technical Savvy: You understand mechanical alignments and sensors; basic Microsoft Office or WMS experience is a plus.
- License & Tools: You must have a valid driver’s license and your own vehicle for local part runs.
- Certifications: You are ready to pass an internal forklift test within your first 30 days.
- Physical Stamina: Ability to stand/walk for your shift and lift a minimum of 20 lbs.
The Perks of the Role
- Stable Schedule: Standard daytime hours with flexibility when the job demands it.
- Professional Growth: Work directly with the Facilities Manager in a role that values your judgment and ability to improve systems.
- Dynamic Environment: From 5S standards to secondary contract packaging, you’ll be immersed in industry-leading practices.
