Packaging and palletizing equipment—calibration, diagnostics, and tuning. Plant utilities: compressed air and refrigeration. Quality and safety commitments Live out GMP, HACCP, and SQF requirements in every task. Use LOTO, confined‑space procedures, and PPE as non‑negotiables. Tool control: every tool accounted for, cleaned, and sanitized post‑job. Clothing discipline to prevent ingredient or allergen transfer. Familiarity with OSHA standards and food‑industry regulatory expectations. Partner with the Business Unit Manager and Quality Technical Manager to resolve quality, food safety, or compliance issues. Keep the site prepared for third‑party or customer audits. How you’ll work with others Collaborate closely with Production and Sanitation to ensure equipment readiness and reliability. Assist Production and Sanitation on customer‑complaint investigations. Keep maintenance areas and tools clean, organized, and inspection‑ready.
