Processing Operator (2nd, 3rd Shift)

Heath, Ohio

Bobbie makes European-style organic infant formula manufactured end-to-end in the U.S., because we believe every parent deserves to feed their baby with confidence, without judgment and without compromise. No mystery ingredients. No shortcuts. Just clean, thoughtfully made formula that parents can trust.

But Bobbie has never been just a formula company. When the 2022 national infant formula shortage left parents across the country unable to feed their babies, we closed our storefront to new customers rather than leave a single existing family without formula. We went to Washington. We got loud. And we opened our Heath, Ohio manufacturing facility to make sure something like that could never happen again.

That's who we are, and that's what you'd be joining.

Our advocacy arm, Bobbie for Change, exists because making great formula isn't enough if the systems around parenthood are still broken. We fight for paid federal parental leave, push for legislation to prevent future formula shortages, advocate for feeding equity, and support families navigating impossible situations, including donating formula to parents impacted by breast and gynecologic cancers through the Bobbie Breasties program.

We're a company that genuinely believes becoming a parent makes you an activist. The people who work here feel that too.

The role

You run the equipment that turns raw ingredients into formula — mixers, heat treatment systems, and spray dryers. Technical, computer-interfaced, and documentation-heavy. If something is off here, everything downstream is affected.

What you'll do every shift

• Operate industrial mixers, homogenizers, heat treatment systems, and spray dryers via HMI controls
• Manage and document bulk ingredient blending, heat treatment, and controlled batch weighing
• Operate, monitor, and document computer-controlled Clean-In-Place (CIP) systems
• Perform CIP, Clean-Out-of-Place (COP), and routine sanitation per SOP
• Complete all batch records and electronic documentation in real time per GDP
• Work cross-functionally with quality, warehouse, and canning as needed

A good fit if…

• You've worked in food processing, pharma manufacturing, or another technical production environment
• You're comfortable with computer screens and data entry — HMI interfaces are part of every shift
• You stay calm and methodical when multiple systems need attention at once
• You have no manufacturing background but you're technically minded, precise, and treat documentation as seriously as the physical work

What the processing floor is actually like

• Warm in places — heat treatment and spray drying equipment generates heat; temperature varies by zone
• Technical — you're reading screens and managing process data alongside the physical operation
• Documentation-intensive — a missed entry in a batch record is a nonconformance, not a minor oversight
• Physical — moving between equipment stations and handling ingredient bags up to 60 lbs throughout the shift

Shift preference

All three shifts are available. When you apply, rank your shift preference. We'll match you based on availability and what works for both of us. Being open to more than one shift means a faster offer.

• 3rd shift — permanent overnight (not a rotation), $2/hr more, best if you naturally run on a night schedule

What we need from you

• Available every scheduled shift — we use a point-based attendance system; exceeding the threshold is a separation event
• On your feet 8–10 hours and lifting up to 60 lbs repeatedly — this is physically demanding work, every shift
• Comfortable following written SOPs and completing batch records accurately in real time
• Able to meet GMP requirements: hair net, no jewelry, no nail polish, no fragrances, dedicated footwear — every shift
• Manufacturing experience preferred (food, beverage, pharma, military, trades) — we…
