Think of the Mix Master as the person who makes the recipe happen on the production floor. You'll measure and add ingredients, operate mixing and processing equipment, monitor temperatures and other specifications, collect samples, complete production records, and make sure every batch meets our quality and food safety standards.

If you enjoy working with equipment, paying attention to details, solving problems, and seeing the results of your work at the end of a shift, this could be a great fit.

• Follow batch tickets and formulas to accurately measure, weigh, and add ingredients.
• Mix and process ingredients to create consistent, high-quality batches.
• Monitor production conditions such as temperatures, processing times, and ingredient usage.
• Collect product samples and perform required quality checks using testing equipment.
• Record lot numbers, ingredients, processing information, test results, and other production data accurately.
• Prepare product labels and maintain accurate batch documentation.
• Assist with batching, processing, quality assurance monitoring, and troubleshooting.
• Add and mix approved ingredients and processing chemicals according to established procedures.
• CompleteCIP, COP, and SIP activities before and after production.
• Assist with allergen monitoring and controls.
• Maintain a clean, organized, and sanitary work area.
• Follow GMPs, SQF requirements, food safety procedures, and all company safety policies.
• Properly use Lockout/Tagout (LOTO) when required.
• Communicate production information, concerns, and equipment issues to supervisors and teammates.
• Work closely with Production, Quality, Maintenance, and other departments to keep production running safely and efficiently.
• Participate in food safety initiatives and help maintain a strong food safety culture.
• Support continuous improvement efforts and identify opportunities to improve safety, quality, efficiency, and consistency.

We're looking for someone who is:

• Detail-oriented – You understand that accurate measurements, temperatures, lot numbers, and records matter.
• Safety-minded – You follow procedures and speak up when you see a potential hazard.
• Reliable – You show up on time, ready to work, every scheduled shift.
• A problem solver – You can recognize when something isn't working correctly and communicate the issue.
• A team player – You work well with others and understand that great products require great teamwork.
• Self-motivated – You can stay organized, manage multiple tasks, and work independently once trained.
• Quality-focused – You take pride in making a product that meets our standards every time.
• Comfortable in a fast-paced environment – Manufacturing can be busy, and priorities can change…
