Job description

Discover Your Day-to-Day

At Didion Milling, every shift starts with a purpose: transforming corn into safe, reliable food ingredients and biofuels. As a Food Packaging Operations Technician, you’ll launch the line, verify settings on PLC-driven equipment, and ready materials with hand tools so production starts smoothly and safely.

As cases move, you’ll watch the process like a hawk—tracking quality to FDA and CGMP standards, catching defects, confirming labels, and documenting every run with complete, accurate logs. Between checks, you’ll stage packaging components, operate a forklift to move pallets and materials, and team up on light assembly tasks to keep everything flowing.

By shift end, you’ll button up reports, help with equipment care, and flag opportunities to improve throughput and reduce waste—owning your area and driving continuous improvement projects that make tomorrow better than today.

Core Responsibilities
  • Operate and adjust packaging machinery and PLC-controlled systems to maintain steady production.
  • Prepare and assemble packaging components using hand tools and mechanical know‑how.
  • Monitor line performance and product quality to meet FDA and CGMP (Current Good Manufacturing Practices) requirements.
  • Inspect packaged goods for defects and consistency; verify coding/labeling.
  • Complete logs, checklists, and reports with precision and timeliness.
  • Use forklift and warehouse skills to move materials and manage inventory safely inside the facility.
  • Assist with assembly tasks that support packaging operations as needed.
What You Bring
  • High school diploma, GED, or equivalent experience.
  • Basic driving ability; forklift experience is a plus.
  • General computer literacy.
  • Background in manufacturing—especially food-safe environments—is a plus.
  • Ability to work independently, applying critical thinking, problem solving, and troubleshooting to complete tasks safely without supervision.
  • Ownership mindset toward your work area and equipment.
  • Initiative and a collaborative, team-first approach.
  • Drive to create and execute continuous improvement projects.
  • Fluent in reading, writing, and speaking English to coordinate with teammates in and beyond the packaging department.
Life at Didion
  • Respect, Appreciation, Flexibility, Trust
  • A supportive team where coworkers help each other succeed
  • Resources and coaching to grow your career
  • Excellent work/life balance
  • Meaningful work that impacts millions
