Food Packaging Machine Operator – Pittston, PA

High-Performance Environment | Mechanical Excellence | Accountability-Driven

Are you a mechanically minded professional who takes pride in a job well done? Do you believe that "good enough" isn't enough when safety and quality are on the line?

We are seeking a Food Packaging Machine Operator to join our Pittston team. We aren't just looking for someone to push buttons; we are looking for a dedicated operator who will take full ownership of their station, maintain our high standards for food safety, and show up every day ready to contribute to a winning team.

THE OPPORTUNITY

In this role, you will be the guardian of our production line, managing high-end equipment including Ishida Scales and Vertical Form Fill and Seal Baggers. This is a temporary-to-hire salaried position that rewards reliability and technical mastery.

What We Offer:

  • Full Benefits: PTO, Paid Holidays, and a competitive benefits package upon permanent hire.

WHAT ACCOUNTABILITY LOOKS LIKE IN THIS ROLE

We provide the tools and the basic training, but you must provide the Work Ethic. Your primary responsibilities include:

  • Ownership of Equipment: Setting up, operating, and breaking down complex machinery with precision. You don't just run the machine; you master it.
  • Vigilance: Constantly monitoring for mechanical abnormalities and safety issues. You are the first line of defense in preventing downtime.
  • Precision: Maintaining impeccable documentation and adhering strictly to GMP (Good Manufacturing Practices).
  • Integrity: Maintaining a clean, safe, and organized workstation—not because you're told to, but because it's the professional standard.

QUALIFICATIONS & REQUIREMENTS

We hire for attitude and aptitude. If you have a "can-do" spirit and a mechanical brain, we want to talk to you.

  • Reliability: A flawless attendance record and the flexibility to work shifts, weekends, or holidays as the production schedule demands.
  • Physical Stamina: Ability to lift up to 75 lbs and remain active (climbing, bending, reaching) throughout your shift.
  • Mechanical Aptitude: A High School Diploma/GED is preferred; previous mechanical training or experience with production equipment is a significant plus.
  • Communication: Must be fluent in English or Spanish (reading, writing, and speaking) to manage critical safety documentation.
  • Authorization: Must be 18 and authorized to work in the U.S.
