• Assist with other production duties as needed.

• Dependable attendance and punctuality.
• Ability to accurately read a scale and perform basic measurements.
• Ability to follow written, digital, and demonstrated work instructions.
• Comfort performing repetitive tasks in a fast-paced production environment.
• Strong attention to quality, safety, and cleanliness.
• Previous seafood, food-production, manufacturing, or packaging experience is a plus, but not required.

• Weekly pay
• Full-time hours
• Overtime opportunities
• Paid training
• Opportunities to learn additional production skills
• Potential for long-term employment and permanent placement
• Paid sick leave in accordance with Washington law
