Job description

Make Every Carton Count

We’re looking for a cross-trained team member to support both machine feeding and end-of-line packing for clamshell and fry cartons. This is a steady overnight opportunity: Monday–Thursday, 6:00 PM–4:00 AM.

Key Duties Feeding (Machine Supply)
  • Supply at least four machines with paper blanks; lift, pre-break, and load into feed hoppers.
  • Be capable of feeding and maintaining six formers concurrently.
  • Strip plastic from incoming loads; remove tickets and deliver them to the operator.
  • Monitor quality at the hopper: keep cartons straight, clear loose scrap, and sort when directed by the operator.
  • Manage R.S.C. stock and deliver R.S.C.’s to case packers to support production flow.
  • Maintain strong housekeeping practices.
  • Comply with all safety rules, including GMP’s, PPE’s, and HACCP & JSA regulations.
  • Complete other assigned tasks as needed.
Packing (End-of-Line)
  • Catch and manage six lanes; pull from forming chutes at the count mark.
  • Execute basic QC: remove nonconforming product and replace with good units.
  • Confirm proper gluing and correct counts per sleeve; fill out quality check-off sheets.
  • Once checks are done, position product and place into a bag; then place sleeve into bag, bag into case, and move case to the conveyor.
  • Assist with glue tip cleaning; cover co-workers for breaks and lunch.
  • Help with labeling and repacking boxes; keep the area organized and clean.
  • Form and label boxes; top off glue containers for machines; perform end-of-shift cleanup.
  • Uphold good housekeeping.
  • Follow GMP’s, PPE’s, and HACCP & JSA regulations.
  • Carry out additional duties as required; check with operators or a supervisor for further needs.
How You’ll Succeed
  • Stay organized while handling multiple machines or lanes.
  • Focus on accuracy—counts, glue integrity, and documentation.
  • Own safety and cleanliness standards.
