We are looking for a unique blend of technical precision and industrial muscle. This isn't just a machine-tending job; it’s a Process Control role. As our Roaster, you are the heartbeat of the production line—responsible for the color, moisture, and quality of every batch that leaves our facility.
If you are someone who can navigate a computer interface to adjust airflow one minute and safely maneuver a 2,000 lb. sack on a forklift the next, we want to talk to you.
The Day-to-Day:
Precision Calibration: Set up, calibrate, and monitor roasting equipment to ensure consistent operation. You’ll manage the "Big Three": Temperature, Belt Speed, and Bed Depth.
The Flow Master: Maintain a steady flow of peanuts from storage bins into the roaster. You’ll verify product types and ensure zero bottlenecks in the production stream.
Technical Troubleshooting: Monitor HMI screens and equipment gauges. When a jam or temperature spike occurs, you are the first line of defense to perform minor adjustments and keep us running.
Heavy-Duty Operations: You’ll be responsible for the high-precision task of hanging 2,000 lb. sacks between poles in the air using a forklift.
The Deep Clean: Once a month, the team shifts to "Maintenance Mode." You’ll join the cleaning crew for a two-day, day-shift shutdown to perform deep-level sanitation and equipment resets.
What We’re Looking For:
Tech-Savvy Mindset: You are comfortable monitoring computer screens, analyzing data points like dwell time and moisture levels, and navigating digital SOPs.
Advanced Forklift Skills: Moving standard pallets is one thing—hanging massive, flexible bulk bags in tight spaces requires a high level of spatial awareness and safety.
Quick on Your Feet: This is a fast-paced environment. You need to prioritize tasks effectively and be ready to unload trailers or jump into general labor tasks as needed.
Physical Stamina: Ability to lift, move, and store products, and participate in intensive monthly cleaning shutdowns.
Requirements:
Proven experience in a manufacturing or industrial environment (Food/Chemical/Thermal processing preferred).
Demonstrated proficiency with industrial machinery and computerized controls (SCADA/HMI).
Solid forklift experience with heavy loads (2,000 lbs+).
Ability to follow strict SOPs and Quality Control standards.
