    11. Maintain clean, organized work areas; ensure waste management and sanitation standards are met.
    12. Data, Reporting & Continuous Improvement
    1. Track production metrics: throughput, yields, giveaway, labor hours, downtime, and quality incidents.
    2. Complete end-of-shift reports and inventory usage; verify material reconciliation (trim, spices, packaging).
    3. Identify and implement improvements in processes, layouts, and training to optimize efficiency and quality.
    4. People & Culture
      1. Coach and develop team members; conduct on-the-job training and cross-training.
      2. Uphold company values and EEO standards.

Qualifications

  • Required
    1. 2+ years in meat processing or food manufacturing, including grinding or blending operations.
    2. 1+ year in a lead/crew leader role (assigning work, training, basic documentation).
    3. Working knowledge of HACCP, GMPs, SSOPs, and basic food safety principles; comfortable with documentation.
    1. Experience with industrial grinders, blenders, scales, and metal detectors; ability to read production specs.

    3. Strong communication skills; detail-oriented; ability to make sound decisions under time pressure.
  • Preferred
    1. Experience in USDA/FSIS-inspected facilities; familiarity with pre-op, verification, and audit readiness.
    2. Knowledge of fat/lean analysis methods (visual grading or rapid testing equipment).
    3. Bilingual (English/Spanish) a plus.
    4. Lean/5S exposure or continuous improvement experience.
