About The Position
The Packaging Machine Operator is responsible for setting up and operating assigned packaging machines and statistical scales to pack the optimum number of quality packages of product. A key component of PepsiCo's success, Frito-Lay has been making the very best snacks for over 80 years. Classic Lay's, Cheetos, and Doritos are just a few of the products that you would help us produce in one of our manufacturing facilities. Although you will start out working for Frito-Lay, this job can open the door to career opportunities with our parent company, PepsiCo. As a Full-Time team member, you would work between 40 and 50 hours per week and overtime may be required. We set industry standards in terms of pay and benefits. We also offer unbeatable benefits including health insurance, dental and vision, retirement savings benefits including 401(k) with company contribution, vacation days and much more. As a Packaging Machine Operator, you can expect to be working on your feet the entirety of your shift near heavy machinery in a loud manufacturing environment. Frito-Lay manufacturing facilities are also large. While we want everyone to feel comfortable, our ability to control the temperature is limited. Indoor warehouse working conditions are impacted by seasons and the weather. After training (a process that can last 8 to 16 weeks), here is a list of the more frequent tasks you could expect to perform: * You will set-up and operate multiple packaging machines to ensure accurate code dates, weights, and that products are put into appropriate bags. * You will check that products are dated and sealed with a minimum amount of wasted product and supplies. * You will also be responsible for ensuring that products to be packed remain clean. * You will maintain a clean and safe work area. Safety is everyone's job. * You will perform basic preventative maintenance on packaging machines such as cleaning or switching out knives and blades, pull-belts, tape machines, or rollers, depending on the need. * You will wear protective gear when using chemicals to clean and sanitize lines during changeovers from one product to another. * You will inspect conveyors and scales prior to line start-ups & changeovers. * You will troubleshoot commonplace problems and make operational adjustments. Packaging Machine Operators work with every product that Frito-Lay produces, which means you should consider the potential allergens we work with: dairy, wheat, soy, garlic, salt, and particular oils (e.g. sunflower). You should also keep in mind that we make popular spicy snacks, like Flamin' Hot Cheetos.
