Job Description

The hiring company is a reputable food production facility specializing in custom spice blends and flavor solutions. As a key player in the food manufacturing industry, the company is committed to delivering high-quality products that meet stringent food safety and customer satisfaction standards. With a focus on innovation, consistency, and safety, the company operates with advanced industrial mixers and packaging technology to produce a wide range of spice blends for diverse culinary applications. The work environment is fast-paced and dynamic, fostering a culture where teamwork, precision, and adherence to regulatory guidelines are paramount. The company provides an entry-level opportunity for individuals passionate about food production and quality control, encouraging growth and development within the manufacturing sector.

The role of Spice Blending Technician is integral to the production process, responsible for accurately verifying and combining raw ingredients in industrial mixers based on detailed batch instructions. This position requires careful attention to detail to ensure that the spice blends meet customer specifications and comply with food safety regulations, including Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) and Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points (HACCP) standards. The technician operates blending and packaging machinery safely and efficiently, weighting and packing blends into bags, boxes, or super sacks. Regular monitoring and quality checks, such as visual inspection and product labeling, are essential duties to maintain consistency and product integrity throughout the blending process.

The role demands physical stamina, as it involves lifting heavy materials, standing for extended periods, and working in environments containing spices with high heat intensity and allergens. Additionally, the technician must be adaptable to temperature variations, working in both cold and hot conditions and occasionally performing overtime or weekend shifts to meet production deadlines. Compliance with safety protocols is mandatory, including the proper use of personal protective equipment like masks, gloves, goggles, and hearing protection to ensure a safe work environment.

Ideal candidates will have at least a high school diploma or equivalent, with previous experience in food production or manufacturing preferred but not required. They should demonstrate strong communication and teamwork skills, basic math proficiency for measuring and recording data, and the ability to read and follow detailed instructions accurately. This position provides an excellent opportunity for individuals seeking a foundational role in food manufacturing, with comprehensive training and the potential for career advancement within the company’s expanding operations. The employment type is full-time, offering a stable work environment with a focus on quality, safety, and customer satisfaction.
