Syrup handler and packaging machine operator

Slopeside Syrup is seeking to add a detail-oriented and friendly syrup handler and packaging machine operator to our small team in Williston, VT.

Slopeside Syrup was founded in 2010 on the slopes of Cochran Ski Area to produce exceptional pure Vermont maple syrup. After several years of growth, the company was split into farming and packaging businesses with the bottling and packaging moving to Williston.
