Job Description

In this role, you will be responsible for stacking bundles of corrugated material onto the automated palletizing section of production machinery. This is a fast-paced, physically active position that requires continuously placing products onto open pallet spaces as the pallet rotates in front of you.
The work is similar to a Tetris-style stacking process, making spatial awareness, attention to detail, and the ability to work at a steady pace important for success.

We want new employees to have the support and training needed to succeed in their role.

  • After 3 weeks: Employees will transition to their designated 2nd or 3rd shift.
  • Technical Trainers will be available; however, much of the day-to-day training will be provided by experienced crew members. Candidates should be comfortable receiving coaching, asking questions, and accepting feedback.
  • Eight weekly evaluations will be conducted by the Production Supervisor and Technical Trainer to review progress, answer questions, provide feedback, and address any concerns.
  • Advancement opportunities are available to employees who demonstrate strong performance and engagement after successfully completing the 60-day probationary period
