A day in this role
At 4:00 PM, you’ll step onto the floor and rotate through key stations that keep production humming. You might start by building and staging boxes, then move to packaging rolled material with care and precision. As the shift progresses, you’ll operate a bagger that forms 60-lb bales of Hydro Mulch, inspect products and packaging, remove and reprocess any defects, and palletize finished goods so they’re shipment-ready. You’ll hop on a forklift (training and certification provided) to move materials, keep your area clean and organized, and hit production targets safely and efficiently.
