Move product as needed to keep production flowing and ensure materials are in place. Stand for extended periods and load the machine with materials according to production requirements. Monitor equipment performance and promptly report any issues or irregularities. Maintain a clean and organized work area in and around the palletizing equipment. Follow all safety procedures and guidelines in a loud manufacturing environment. Collaborate with team members and support overall production goals.

The organization offers stability, opportunities for growth, and pay increases when you transition to a permanent role, creating a secure and rewarding long-term career path. Work Environment You will work in a loud, noisy manufacturing facility that operates around the clock. The palletizer room is climate controlled, providing a more comfortable environment while you operate the equipment.
