The hiring company is a manufacturing facility specializing in food or related products where maintaining the highest standards of sanitation is crucial to ensure product safety and quality. This establishment places a strong emphasis on cleanliness, adherence to safety protocols, and cross-contamination prevention throughout its operations. As a key player in its industry, the company is committed to upholding stringent hygiene and sanitation practices, complying with regulatory standards such as Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP), Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points (HACCP), and Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs). The work environment is dynamic, involving both indoor and outdoor settings where employees will encounter operational equipment and various working conditions. Recognizing the importance of a safe and healthy workplace, the company enforces the use of personal protective equipment such as bump caps, safety glasses, hearing protection, and safety boots at all times.

The role available is for a Sanitation Technician, who will be instrumental in supporting the facility’s sanitation efforts. This position is designed for individuals who are detail-oriented, physically capable, and knowledgeable about sanitation techniques within a production environment. The Sanitation Technician will be responsible for executing routine cleaning and sanitizing tasks on machinery and facility spaces to prevent contamination and ensure compliance with safety and health regulations. Working closely with the Quality Control (QC) Department to maintain the facility's sanitation standards, the technician plays a critical role in supporting product integrity and safety.

Working hours for this position follow a graveyard shift from 6:00 PM to 6:25 AM, operating in 12-hour shifts with a biweekly alternative work schedule that includes weekends. This schedule demands flexibility and a strong commitment to safety and professionalism during night shifts. The role also requires mandatory participation in overtime work, reflecting the company's dedication to maintaining continuous sanitation standards. Employees in this position need to be comfortable working in various temperature ranges and weather conditions, as the tasks sometimes take place outside or in challenging environments such as confined spaces and dusty locations.

The Sanitation Technician will be expected to thoroughly understand and implement all relevant SOPs, GMPs, and HACCP principles. Using color-coded cleaning tools to minimize cross-contamination, managing chemical sanitation agents, maintaining cleaning schedules, and accurately documenting sanitation activities are essential components of the role. This comprehensive approach helps reduce safety risks and ensures consistent sanitation quality throughout production cycles.

Candidates for this role should possess physical endurance and the ability to lift up to 50 pounds regularly, perform repetitive physical tasks such as bending, squatting, pulling, pushing, and scrubbing both vertically and horizontally. Moreover, precision in reading and interpreting chemical labels, safety data sheets (MSDS), SOPs, and sanitation standard operating procedures (SSOPs) is necessary to execute cleaning processes safely and efficiently. The ability to complete detailed sanitation logs and verification of test strips accurately promotes accountability and transparency in the sanitation activities.

Overall, this role is critical for maintaining the hygiene and safety standards of the manufacturing facility. The Sanitation Technician will contribute significantly to the company’s operational success by ensuring an orderly, contaminant-free production environment. Through dedicated work in this position, employees provide an essential service that promotes consumer confidence and regulatory compliance.
