Job description

Fortress Nutrition is growing-and we're looking for driven, reliable individuals to join our high-speed Beverage Canning team. If you thrive in a fast-paced manufacturing environment and want a schedule that gives you more balance without sacrificing hours or your paycheck, this is the perfect opportunity for you.
This role is ideal for someone who takes pride in their work, shows up consistently, and wants to be a valuable part of a team that produces high-quality products at scale.

Work 4 days, enjoy a 3-day weekend every week-and if you want extra income, optional overtime is available with opportunities for double pay!

Schedule:
  • Monday - Thursday: 6:00 PM - 6:00 AM
  • 3-day weekends (Friday-Sunday)

> Want to pick up extra hours? Overtime may be available on Fridays or weekend days (up to 8-hour max shifts) - always volunteer-based first!
What You'll Do
  • Set up, operate, troubleshoot, and maintain high-speed canning line equipment (filler, seamer, packaging, shrink wrapper)
  • Monitor production to ensure efficiency, quality, and minimal downtime
  • Act with strong sense of urgency to quickly address line or equipment faults/errors
  • Identify and escalate mechanical issues to Maintenance when needed

Must operate with a high sense of urgency at all times. This role requires constant monitoring of equipment and immediate response to machine faults or slowdowns. Failure to act quickly can stop the entire canning line. Individuals who are not attentive, proactive, and fast-moving in addressing issues will not be successful in this role.
Preferred:
  • Experience in food, beverage, bottling, canning, or other regulated/controlled working environments
  • Knowledge of GMPs, food safety, and quality standards

Physical Requirements

  • + $1.00/hour "Late Shift" Premium
  • Double Time Pay for 50+ hours/week + any weekend work

Benefits Include:
  • PTO Package with Carryover Option
  • 9 Paid Holidays Per Year
  • Medical, Dental & Vision (Affordable Family Coverage)
  • HSA Option with Quarterly Company Contributions
  • Company-Paid Life, AD&D, Short- & Long-Term Disability Insurance
  • 401(k) with strong company match
