• As a Machine Operator, you'll set up and operate a machine that's running cheese for some of the biggest restaurants and retailers in the world. (If you’ve enjoyed a burger with cheese at your favorite restaurant, there’s a good chance you’ve enjoyed some of our delicious dairy.) Part of your role includes monitoring the equipment and performing many different quality checks to make sure we’re meeting customer requirements.
• Nothing's more important to us than the safety of our employees and our food. In fact, we've set the standard with a safety record that's one of the best in the entire industry. That's why you'll wear a hard hat, hair net, boots, safety glasses and other safety equipment (at no cost to you), and you'll be expected to follow good manufacturing practices to keep you and our food safe.
  
  It's all to help get you home to your loved ones the same way you arrived.
• Because customer needs change, so does our production schedule. If you're flexible to work some overtime (and earn extra cash in the process), this job could be a great job for you. We also need you to arrive on time to work and maintain a satisfactory attendance record.
