Work Environment

This role is based in a manufacturing environment producing solid dosage medicines, nutrients, and vitamins that go into animal feed products, as well as pre-mix pharmaceutical products (food treated with nutrients or medicine).

The cleaner area is highly organized and controlled, though not a full clean room, while the more industrial area can be significantly dirtier and may result in employees going home with visible dust or residue from the workday. Team members wear a uniform appropriate for the manufacturing environment, without the need for specialized clean-room attire such as booties or hair and beard nets. The site offers a full-service cafeteria with hot and cold food options, vending machines, and a lunch room, with day shift having full cafeteria services and night shift having a mostly functional lunch room. The standard schedule for this role is Monday through Friday, 7:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.
