Job Description

UniFirst is a prominent leader in the garment services industry, operating on a global scale with a robust presence in the United States, Canada, and Europe. Established for over 80 years, UniFirst embodies a unique family-oriented culture that balances the intimacy of a small company with the vast resources and stability typical of a multi-billion-dollar corporation. With an expansive network of over 14,000 team partners servicing more than 300,000 business customer locations, UniFirst commits itself to growth, diversity, and inclusion. Recognized for its excellence by Selling Power magazine and Forbes, UniFirst offers a work environment that values each team partner's contributions and fosters career advancement from within its ranks.

The Production Team Partner role at UniFirst is a crucial position that marks the starting point of the production process every morning. This role involves cooperative teamwork to clear soiled products from service trucks, ensuring they are appropriately handled, sorted, and prepared for the cleaning process. Unlike many other roles, this position offers a consistent 5-day work week with weekends off, aligning with UniFirst's commitment to work-life balance. Uniquely, UniFirst invests in its team members through comprehensive on-the-job training and ongoing cross-training opportunities that broaden exposure to various production areas. This cross-training not only enhances job performance but also opens the door for potential career growth within the company.

The role is particularly well-suited for dependable, hardworking individuals who value being part of a cohesive team environment. Responsibilities include unloading and sorting soiled products, weighing inventory, managing adjustments to customer accounts, and adhering to strict safety, HACCP, and medical guidelines. The position requires standing for full shifts and safely handling lifting tasks within specified weight limits. Competency in basic math and effective communication with management are also essential. The culture at UniFirst embraces diversity and inclusion, promoting a welcoming and supportive atmosphere for all team partners. This role is an excellent entry point for those seeking a stable job with extensive benefits, a supportive culture, and opportunities for upward mobility within a leading industry player.
