Verify package weights against specifications and ensure lot codes, expiration dates, and product labels are accurate, legible, and properly applied.
- Boxing & Palletizing: Assemble shipping cartons, pack finished bags securely, stack boxes or bulk sacks onto pallets according to stacking patterns, and operate stretch-wrap equipment or pallet jacks.
- Experience: Previous experience in food manufacturing, agricultural processing, warehousing, or assembly line packing is a plus (on-the-job training provided).
- Core Skills: Strong attention to detail, basic math skills for counting and weight checks, and the ability to keep pace with a continuous production line.
