What You'd Be Doing

Your average day would go a little something like this. You'd start by arriving, on time of course, and leading our "Stretch and Flex" routine (this makes sure everyone is PHYSICALLY ready to work). Then, you'd have a pre-shift inspection of the forklift, CO2 bulk tank levels, and the saw in which we use to cut the dry ice. You would then review the daily production sheet and arrange bins for first order to be produced. For safety, you would open the doors and turn on exhaust fans before starting and operating dry ice block makers and saws. Once the production has started, you would package the ice in appropriate bags and containers per the production sheet. You would then weigh, bin, and record ice weight on the production sheet before wrapping, labeling, and staging the bin in the designated area. During all this, it is ESSENTIAL that you are following all safety guidelines and requirements (PPE, LOTO, etc.), cleaning bins as needed, and keeping work stations and common areas clean (5S). It is also very important to communicate any shortages with your supervisor (don't worry, they're awesome). As a lead, your day would also consist of fielding any questions or concerns from your team. With this being a first shift lead, you would also be responsible for opening the facility each day and ensuring the team is staying on task.
