Formulation Technician / Batch Cook — 3RD SHIFT
You've eaten what we make. Now come make it.
Since 1905, The Fremont Company has been cooking up the ketchup that ends up on tables across the country. We're looking for a skilled Batch Cook / Formulation Technician to run our third shift and turn raw ingredients into the real deal — batch after batch, night after night. Ketchup experience is a big plus — if you know your way around tomato paste, viscosity, and Brix levels, we want to talk to you.
The Job:
- Cook and mix ketchup batches to exact recipes and specs
- Keep a close eye on temp, viscosity, Brix, and consistency — precision matters
- Follow GMP/HACCP food safety standards to the letter
- Catch equipment issues before they become problems
- Keep batch records tight and accurate
- Team up with QA and production to hit quality and yield goals
You've Got:
- Ketchup or tomato-based product manufacturing experience (strongly preferred)
- Experience in food manufacturing or batch processing more broadly also welcome
- A steady hand with recipes, ratios, and measurements
- The ability to work independently overnight and think on your feet
- Sharp attention to detail and a safety-first attitude
Shift: Third shift, 10:00 PM – 6:00 AM
Why Fremont:
Family-owned for over a century. Real people, real recipes, real growth. Competitive pay, solid benefits, and a team that's got your back at 2 AM just as much as 2 PM.
