3rd Shift Smoke Master

About the role

Reporting to the Smokehouse Supervisor, you'll combine hands-on craftsmanship with precision monitoring to ensure every product meets Seltzer's high standards for safety, quality and flavor. This isn't your typical manufacturing job; as a Smokemaster, you'll play an essential role in creating traditionally smoked products by carefully managing our smokehouses, tending wood fires and monitoring each batch throughout the smoking process.

Responsibilities

• Monitor and record smokehouse and product temperatures every two hours
• Take pH readings and determine when additional wood is needed
• Tend and maintain wood-burning smokehouse fires
• Verify the accuracy of smokehouse temperature probes
• Calibrate and properly maintain the pH meter
• Transport wood from outside storage and maintain an adequate supply for production
• Accurately complete required food safety and production documentation
• Support sanitation activities on second and third shifts when needed
• Follow all food safety, food defense, GMP and workplace safety procedures
• Communicate concerns or unusual readings promptly to the Smokehouse Supervisor

What We're Looking For

• Dependable, detail-oriented and comfortable working independently
• Strong observation, problem-solving and recordkeeping skills
• Clear and effective communication
• Comfortable using basic computers and production technology
• Ability to work in environments with varying temperatures
• Ability to safely perform the physical duties associated with transporting and handling wood
• Flexible and willing to work evenings, nights, weekends or holidays when production requires it
• Reliable transportation and consistent attendance

Preferred Qualifications

• Previous food manufacturing, production or warehouse experience
• Experience using forklifts or pallet jacks
• Familiarity with temperature monitoring, pH testing or food safety procedures

Experience is helpful, but reliability, attention to detail and a willingness to learn are what matter most. We'll teach the right person how to master the process.

Schedule

The hours for this position are from 9:30 PM until 6:00 AM each week night.
