• Perform in-process quality checks: product weight, visual inspection, temperature, pH, and Brix measurements using precision instruments.
• Complete batch records, production logs, and required documentation with 100% accuracy — in real time, no exceptions.
• Enter production data and batch information into our ERP system (NetSuite) accurately and on schedule.
• Follow all GMP, cGMP, HACCP, and food safety requirements at all times.
• Communicate clearly during shift handoffs and escalate issues to your supervisor without delay.
• Maintain your work area clean, organized, and 5S-compliant throughout every shift.
• Follow all OSHA safety rules, LOTO procedures, and PPE requirements — safety is always the first priority.

• High school diploma or GED; must be 18 or older.
• Fluent in English — strong verbal and written communication skills required.
• Minimum 2 years of experience in food, nutraceutical, pharmaceutical, or chemical manufacturing.
• GMP or cGMP experience — required or must be achieved quickly upon hire.
• High attention to detail and a genuine commitment to quality and accuracy.
• Reliable, punctual, and able to work effectively both independently and as part of a team.

Preferred:

• Familiarity with ERP systems (NetSuite preferred) for production tracking and documentation.
• Experience with precision measurement tools: scales, pH meters, and refractometers.
• Knowledge of HACCP, allergen control, 5S, or lean manufacturing principles.
• Prior experience in a nutraceutical, confectionery, or gummy manufacturing environment.

Physical Requirements:

• Ability to stand for the full duration of each shift (8–10 hours) on a hard production floor.
