Prep containers, run the packing machine, and seal each container so it’s ready to ship. Ship orders. Load containers into boxes, tape them, and apply shipping labels. Care for the colonies. Feed and harvest dubia roaches, black soldier fly larvae, hornworms, and superworms. Track how they’re growing, and keep the workspace clean and organized. We provide gloves and all needed safety gear, and we’ll train you on everything. Know This Before Applying You’ll handle live insects all day. None of them are dangerous. Superworms can give a small pinch, and the rest don’t bite at all. You need to be comfortable with bugs, or confident you’ll get there. Allergies. Insect allergies are real, and we reduce the risk with proper protective gear. If you have a known insect allergy, tell us up front. It smells like insects. We work to control odor, but it’s part of the job, and your clothes will smell when you leave. Most people stop noticing within a few days, and nobody who’s been here more than a couple of weeks is bothered by it. Some work areas are warm. We keep conditions as comfortable as we can. The work is physical and steady. You’ll be on your feet most of the day and occasionally lift up to 50 lbs. No customer contact. If you’ve worked retail or food service, this will be a lot calmer. Who We’re Looking For Two things matter most: you’re dependable, and you care how the work gets done. Dependable means you show up on time every shift, finish what you start without reminders, tell us early when you’ll be out or when something’s wrong, and want a job you’ll stay in. Caring how the work gets done means you follow the process while paying attention to how it could be better, and you speak up. We’re a small team with a hands-on owner, so there’s no corporate layer and no politics. When you suggest a better way to do something, it gets tried. One team member wanted to test a new way of separating insect life stages on one of our production lines, and it tripled the output of that step. When an improvement works, the whole team celebrates it, and the person behind it gets the credit. You’ll see the results of your work directly, and you’ll learn how a small business runs. This job is a good fit if you take pride in getting small details right, you work efficiently without cutting corners, and you’ve done steady, hands-on work before, such as warehouse, production line, or food service. It’s not for everyone. If it sounds like you, we’d like to hear from you. How to Apply Apply through Indeed. Applications close 11/31/26. We may extend this date if the position is still open.
