Description

Join our production team and help create the ice cream mix used to make our finished products. This is a hands on, highly active role working with ingredients, industrial processing equipment, and quality tracking systems in a food manufacturing environment. If you enjoy physical work, staying busy, and learning specialized equipment, this position offers a fast moving shift where the day goes by quickly.

In this role, you will gather and combine ingredients, operate processing equipment such as pasteurizers and blending systems, record production data, receive and test raw milk, and clean and sanitize equipment daily.
