Temporary- Lead Packer BTH Team B

Your Mission

You’ll be the frontline captain of our packing operations. Think: snacks meet strategy. You’ll keep things moving smoothly, from the time the chips leave the kettle room, through splicing film like a snack ninja, to coaching the packing crew like a champ. Your work touches every chip bag we send out, so no pressure (okay, maybe some pressure).

Schedule

Dieffenbach’s Team C works Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday from 6:50 am to 7:00 pm (packing Leads may start a few minutes earlier).

You’ll Crush It If You

• Believe communication, collaboration, and high-fiving teammates are all critical to success.
• Know how to lead with care and maybe a little humor when the day calls for it.
• Don’t freak out at the sight of a metal detector; in fact, you run it like a pro.
• Are cool with getting a little greasy, moving fast, and working in snack-scented wonderland.
• Think “cross-shift collaboration” sounds fun, not frightening.
• Are bilingual (English & Spanish).

On a Serious (But Still Fun) Note

• Drives a positive culture, because grumps kill productivity.
• Loves snacks, but loves people, process, and standard work more.
• Embraces continuous improvement, even if it means admitting others have a good idea that drives positive change.
• Is excited for and can meet the expectations of the “official Packing Lead Job Description.”

• Perform metal detector checks, adjust machines, and ensure proper product flow and scale accuracy.
• Change film rolls and formers as needed; troubleshoot minor equipment issues.
• Ensure correct packing according to customer specifications (seals, weights, date codes, labels, etc.).
• Monitor and adjust seasoning levels for quality and consistency.
• Inspect and hand-pack product at line speed with attention to detail.
• Handle product rework and repacking tasks as necessary.
• Use forklifts, pallet jacks, and other equipment as trained.
• Keep accurate documentation and complete logs on quality checks, production data, and inspections.
• Communicate clearly and professionally with team members and supervisors.
• Clean and sanitize production equipment and work areas per food safety standards.
• Provide lunch and break coverage to team members.
• Perform other duties as assigned by leadership.

Requirements

• Ability to lift up to 50 lbs. and work on your feet for a 12-hour shift.
• Willingness to work in hot, loud, and occasionally wet conditions.
• Knowledge of GMPs, HACCP, and food safety best practices a plus.
