Dairy Processing Specialist (Dairy Required | Milk Highly Preferred) | 1st Shift | Up to $45 /hr. | Wayne County, Ohio The Professional Division of Spherion Mid Ohio is partnering with an established and growing dairy manufacturing operation in Wayne County, Ohio to identify a Dairy Processing Specialist to join a small, highly collaborative team. This is a direct hire opportunity on 1st shift offering up to $45 /hr. designed for individuals who bring true dairy processing experience, with milk processing experience considered highly advantageous.
- This is a Direct Hire opportunity. Day one, you are this company's employee. You will not go through a temp-to-hire process.
- Why This Role Stands Out
- 1st shift schedule, which is rare in dairy processing
- Compensation up to $45 /hr. competitive with larger manufacturers
- Consistent work life balance without excessive overtime or rotating shifts
- Small and collaborative team environment
- Direct access to ownership and ability to make an impact daily What This Role Is Truly About .
..
This is a process-focused, technical role centered around dairy processing, with a strong emphasis on milk processing knowledge and understanding of processing flow.
General manufacturing experience alone will not align. This role requires someone who understands how dairy processing works through hands-on experience or technical involvement in food safety, quality, or regulatory functions within a dairy environment. Required Experience
Candidates must have direct experience within a dairy processing environment. Highly Preferred Experience
- Direct experience with milk processing
- Experience working with pasteurization systems such as HTST or UHT
- Hands-on involvement with CIP (Clean-in-Place) systems
- Experience in fluid milk processing or similar dairy production environments Additional Backgrounds That Can Align
- Dairy processing operators or technicians
- Cheese makers or creamery operators
- Dairy production technicians
- Quality assurance or food safety professionals within dairy plants
- HACCP or FSQR professionals with direct exposure to dairy processing systems
- Regulatory or inspection professionals with strong familiarity with dairy plant operations Not a Fit If Your Background Is Primarily In
- General manufacturing without dairy or food processing
- Packaging-only roles without exposure to processing
- Warehouse, logistics, or distribution
- Lab-only food science without plant or production involvement What You Will Do
- Support and understand dairy processing flow from intake through finished product
- Provide insight into pasteurization, temperature control, and product integrity
- Ensure adherence to food safety and sanitation standards
- Serve as a technical resource within a small, hands-on team
- Assist in troubleshooting and supporting daily processing operations What We're Looking For
- Strong understanding of dairy processing systems
- Milk processing experience is highly preferred
- Ability to explain and troubleshoot processing flow and food safety considerations
- Comfort working in a small, team-oriented environment
- Desire to be in a role where your knowledge is relied on daily Today
If you have direct dairy processing experience and are seeking a 1st shift opportunity with competitive pay and strong work-life balance, we encourage you to apply or email Jessica Johnson, Professional Recruitment Manager at JJohnson@spherionohio.
