This opportunity is for a Mixer position at Conagra Brands' manufacturing facility located in Kent, Washington. The role is a full-time first shift with working hours from 5:30 AM to 2:00 PM and offers a competitive hourly wage of $25.00. As a Mixer, you will be part of a dedicated team of over 235 colleagues and report directly to the shift supervisor. Your primary responsibility will involve operating and tending machines that mix key ingredients such as salt, flour, eggs, and soda to produce batter according to established formulas.

Your daily activities will include weighing and mixing ingredients in large mixing tanks, hand stirring mixes with specialized spatulas, and recording detailed information about ingredients, timing, and temperatures. Effective communication is essential, as you will receive instructions from the Cook either in person or via telephone. Maintaining rigorous safety, food safety (SQF), and Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) standards is crucial in this role. You will undergo training and validation to properly clean and sanitize equipment and work areas, focused specifically on your section, such as cookers, depositors, conveyors, floors, and walls.

In addition to sanitation protocols, the role requires comprehensive knowledge of ladder safety, water and drain management, chemical handling, and the application of plant-specific cleaning chemicals. Flexibility is key since the position may require overtime to meet production deadlines, as well as the ability to rotate into the Production Specialist position as needed.

Conagra Brands emphasizes accountability, adherence to work standards, and high-quality productivity. The company fosters a culture that supports open communication, teamwork, and integrity. As a Mixer, your role is integral to ensuring that production processes run smoothly and safely while upholding the high standards expected by Conagra.
