Maintenance Technician

Overview

Leprino Foods' history dates to over 65 years ago, when the Leprino family first started making small batches of mozzarella for local markets and eateries in Denver. We've grown to become the largest manufacturer of mozzarella and lactose in the world, and a leading producer of whey protein. Still owned by the Leprino family, we aim to be the "World's Best Dairy Food and Ingredient Company."

To help us achieve that vision, we seek motivated individuals who are the absolute best at what they do. From three people in a small cheese shop in the early 1950s, we have grown to over 4,300 employees across 16 global locations. Will you join us on our journey?
