Work Environment

This role is based in a high-volume production facility with a 12-hour Continental Day Shift (2-2-3 rotation), starting in the early evening around 6:15 PM. There is potential for future transition to a Monday–Friday schedule or alternative shifts, though this is not expected for several months. The work is very hands-on and physically demanding, involving frequent lifting, standing, and moving throughout the production area. The production environment is not climate controlled and can become very hot or very cold depending on the season, so comfort working in varying temperatures is important. Team members wear GMP-adhering personal protective equipment and follow strict food safety and hygiene practices at all times.
