Are you someone who takes pride in doing things the right way? As a Production Associate on our Pack Line team, you'll play an essential role in bringing our products to life.

This is a hands-on role in a fast-paced manufacturing environment where your attention to detail, teamwork, and commitment to excellence truly matter. If you enjoy staying active, working with your hands, and seeing the tangible results of your work each day, this could be a great fit for you.

• Keep your workstation clean, organized, and safe
• Collaborate closely with your team to meet daily production goals
• Participate in training and continuous improvement efforts to build your skills
• Follow safety, quality, and attendance standards that keep our team strong

You’ll be on your feet, staying active, and working alongside a supportive team in a production environment where safety is always the top priority. We're committed to maintaining a workplace where everyone goes home safe at the end of the day.

You might be a great fit if you:

• Have a high school diploma or equivalent
• Bring previous manufacturing or production experience (preferred but not required - we'll train the right person!)
