Raw Material Handler ​/ Pre Weigh Assistant

Raw Material Handler / Pre-Weigh Assistant
Move It. Stage It. Weigh It. Get It Right.

Ever wonder what happens before the ingredients for shampoo, body wash, lotion, beard oil, and other personal-care products ever make it into the mixing tank?

It starts with having the right material, right lot, right quantity, and right setup ready to go.

At Merit Manufacturing, our Pre-Weigh team plays a critical role in making that happen—and we’re looking for a dependable Raw Material Handler / Pre-Weigh Assistant who is ready to learn, stay moving, and become an important part of the manufacturing process.

This isn't just a “move boxes from Point A to Point B” job.

You’ll retrieve raw materials, verify labels and lot numbers, stage ingredients for upcoming batches, support our Pre-Weigh Specialist, and learn how to accurately scale and weigh ingredients under supervision. As your skills grow, so will your responsibilities.

You don’t need years of experience. You do need to be reliable, organized, comfortable with basic math, willing to learn, and serious about getting the details right.

Merit Manufacturing is a fast-growing contract manufacturer in the personal-care industry.

What does that mean? We help nationwide brands bring their products to life! We manufacture products like:

• Shampoo
• Body wash
• Beard oil
• Lotions
• Laundry detergent
• And plenty of other products you’ve probably seen—or may already have at home!

In just six years, Merit has experienced tremendous growth, and we’re nowhere near finished.

We recently moved into a state-of-the-art manufacturing facility unlike anything our industry has seen. Whether you’re working in the warehouse, Pre-Weigh, Compounding, Production, or the lab, you’ll be part of a team that is building something exceptional.

Most importantly, we care about the people behind the products
.

We want our employees to have opportunities to learn, grow, advance, and build sustainable careers. At Merit, your voice matters, your ideas are valued, and your work makes a difference every day.
