The Team Members We're Looking For

Trimmers

Trimmers are key to bringing the raw products in and processing them for sanitation and packaging. They can work quickly and accurately and are skilled in attention to detail – this is what helps meet daily production goals.

As a Trimmer you’d be receiving raw materials from daily deliveries and loading them onto the conveyor system and inspecting them for quality or safety issues. These are some of the things you’d do during the course of the day:

• Learn and perform all of the functions of the position assigned following all company rules and standards

• Trim, load, sort and inspect raw vegetables according to specifications and based on trimming and processing applications

• Conduct visual inspection of raw materials, identifying and reporting any quality or safety issues while working through the trimming, product spreading, and rework functions

• Conduct visual inspection of raw materials, identifying and reporting any quality or safety issues while working through the packing process, product spreading, and rework functions

• Perform other duties as assigned

Packers

Packers play a key part in getting the finished products ready for distribution. They can work quickly and accurately and are skilled in attention to detail – this is what helps meet daily production goals.

As a Packer, you’re taking the sorted and sanitized raw materials and working to help package the final products. It’s really fast-paced and really important that you help maintain the pace of production by keeping up with your team mates that are getting product to you. These are some of the things you’d do during the course of the day:

• Learn and perform all of the functions of the position assigned following all company rules and standards.

• Remove bags or trays of salad from conveyor and place into boxes.

• Check for foreign objects, accurate bag codes and expiration dates.

• Conduct visual inspection of raw materials, identifying and reporting any quality or safety issues while working through the packing process, product spreading, and rework functions.

• Perform other duties as assigned (e.g., stacking boxes of salad on skids, printing and applying labels, move from one assigned work area to another throughout the day as assigned).
