Job description

Over the last 40 years, we've worked hard to build The Chef's Garden. It's a unique niche - home to creativity, innovation, a commitment to excellence, and some of the best produce in the world.

  • To assist as a member of the Packing Room team in the sorting and cleaning of incoming product and in the packing of orders for the day's deliveries and, as the last person to see the product before it is shipped, be certain that orders are error-free, of the best possible quality and go out in a timely manner.
  • Assist in checking-in incoming produce (from shippers, market, field...) - give a lot number and date the product and put it away as soon as it arrives, judge product quality, and grade accordingly. Work products when needed.
  • Fill orders for the current day's delivery accurately with quality product, noting substitutions and shorts when necessary. Prioritize orders.
  • Properly pack orders to ensure no damage to the product and maintain the appropriate temperature.
  • Assist in the cleaning, trimming, sorting, and packing of fruits and vegetables, including running the cleaning machines for certain items.
  • Cross-train and learn the proper procedures for all areas of the Packing Room. Assist in other Packing areas (Tomato, Lettuce, Petites, and Micro Packing) as needed.
  • Follow specific Food Safety and HACCP procedures, including, but not limited to, temperature measurements, cleaning schedule and procedures, proper product labeling with lot numbers, tracking of lot numbers for incoming produce.
  • Keep all utensils (scissors, knives, thermometers, etc.) cleaned and sanitized according to all Food Safety policies and standards.
  • At end of shift, clean Packing Room, fill supplies and remove trash to dumpster or to employee shelves.
  • Perform any other duties necessary to meet job responsibilities.
Physical Requirements
  • Must be able to lift up to 50 lbs. and stand for extended periods of time.
  • Work in a temperature controlled packing facility (38 degrees) to maintain product freshness
  • Exposure to water and moisture; must be comfortable working in a cool, wet environment
Expectations
  • Approach your role in ways that align with the core values of The Chef's Garden.

    • Commit to Quality: Care about the work that you do
  • Help others where necessary and ask for help when needed.
