The Sanitation Lead travels between the two locations, schedules cleaning around production, trains the team, verifies cleaning effectiveness, and works closely with Quality, Production, and Maintenance to prevent cross‑contamination and allergen cross‑contact in capsule, tablet, powder, and other nutraceutical products.

• Split time between the Chandler and Gilbert facilities, maintaining a regular presence at each site and serving as the first point of contact for sanitation questions and issues.
• Coordinate daily with Production, Quality, and Maintenance at each site so equipment and rooms are cleaned, inspected, and released on time for the next batch.

• Enforce allergen control and cross‑contamination prevention procedures, including segregation and color‑coding of cleaning tools by area.
• Report equipment damage, pest activity, and sanitation deviations to Quality immediately, and assist with investigations and corrective actions.
• Help write and update sanitation SOPs and work instructions, and support internal, customer, and regulatory audits at both sites.
