• Restock label rolls and other consumables on the machines to prevent interruptions in production.
• Continuously monitor assigned production line and equipment, listening for alarms and watching for irregularities that may indicate mechanical or process issues.
• Perform routine safety and basic maintenance checks on equipment, determining whether issues can be fixed on the spot or need to be escalated to the maintenance team.
• Participate in weekly facility sanitation activities, including foam and sprayer cleaning processes (CIP), to maintain a clean and hygienic production environment.
• Work efficiently in a fast-paced setting where each machine can run between 300,000 and 600,000 bottles per day, maintaining focus and attention to detail.
• Follow all safety procedures and use required personal protective equipment at all times while on the production floor.
• Communicate effectively with team members, maintenance, and leadership regarding equipment status, quality concerns, and production issues.
• Support general material handling tasks within the facility and, once trained, assist with forklift operations using a sit-down counterbalance forklift.
• Multi-task across different production activities as required, adjusting to shifting priorities and line needs during the shift.

Essential Skills

• At least 6 months of experience working in a fast-paced environment such as manufacturing, warehouse, fast food, or general labor.
• Previous manufacturing experience, with food manufacturing experience considered especially relevant.
• Experience working in roles that required effective multi-tasking and managing several tasks at once.
• Comfortable performing general labor tasks, including packing, loading, and repetitive manual work.
• Ability to lift a minimum of 25–30 pounds regularly and up to 40 pounds overhead multiple times per shift.
• Good computer skills to operate and monitor automated production equipment and input basic data.
• Experience with sit-down counterbalance forklift (SDCB FL) operations or strong willingness to train on this equipment.
• Strong safety-oriented mindset and commitment to following safety procedures and guidelines.
• High attention to detail to monitor machines, detect issues, and maintain product quality.
• Good communication skills to interact with team members and escalate issues appropriately.
• Quick learning ability to pick up new processes, equipment, and procedures in a dynamic production environment.
• Problem-solving skills to identify, troubleshoot, and resolve minor equipment or process issues during production.

Additional Skills & Qualifications

• Previous experience operating production machinery such as bottle blowers, fillers, labelers, or packaging equipment is an asset.
• Experience in food or beverage manufacturing is a strong advantage due to familiarity with quality and sanitation standards.
• Comfort working with cleaning chemicals, foam systems, and sprayers as part of CIP sanitation processes.
• Ability to remain focused and accurate while working around high-speed equipment producing large daily volumes.
• Willingness to work overtime when available to support production demands.
• Interest in long-term career growth within a large organization that offers opportunities to advance into more experienced or technical roles.
