Job DescriptionJob DescriptionLead the crew that keeps our food production spotless

When the third shift kicks off, you're the steady hand setting the pace.

  • Tackle sanitation across production equipment and facility areas, shoulder-to-shoulder with your crew.
  • Operate and oversee tools of the trade: power scrubbers, foamers, and forklifts.
  • Be the point person for on-shift sanitation questions and problem-solving.
  • Train and mentor team members on proper cleaning techniques, chemical handling, and safe storage.
  • Monitor performance and ensure strict alignment with SSOP, HACCP, and GMP standards.
What you bring
  • Clear, confident leadership and strong communication.
  • Background in sanitation within a food manufacturing environment (preferred).
  • Working knowledge of sanitation practices and safety protocols.
  • Physical readiness to stand and walk for long periods and lift up to 50 lbs.
  • Bilingual in English/Spanish strongly preferred.
Why this role
  • Competitive pay and benefits from day one.
  • Real growth path into higher leadership roles.
  • Direct impact on food safety and product quality every single shift.
