As a family owned and operated company since 1950, Reser's has established a strong tradition of crafting and delivering delicious, convenient meal solutions loved by families and consumers across the country. Their family of brands, including Reser's American Classics, Main Street Bistro, and Don Pancho, reflects the company’s dedication to variety, quality, and flavor. With manufacturing facilities located throughout the United States and Mexico, Reser's supports local communities and maintains a commitment to sustainable and responsible production practices.
The role of Machine Operator 1 at Reser’s Fine Foods is a critical position within their production team. This full-time, non-exempt position reports directly to a Line Technician or Production Supervisor and involves the setup, operation, and maintenance of basic food processing machines.
