About the Role Roman Foods is hiring a dependable, hands-on Production & Warehouse Associate to support our tahini manufacturing operation. You will help produce and package product, operate equipment, handle materials, prepare shipments, and clean the facility. This is a flexible, all-around position—not a role limited to one machine or workstation. Daily assignments will vary based on production and facility needs. Previous experience is helpful but not required; we will train the right person. Responsibilities Operate and monitor production equipment. Load sesame and other materials; assist throughout processing, roasting, grinding, and packaging; and perform equipment setup, startup, operation, and shutdown according to training and written instructions. Monitor equipment performance and make only authorized adjustments. Fill and package product. Fill buckets/pails and other containers to the required weight. Apply lids, seals, labels, lot numbers, and date codes. Check packaging for accuracy, damage, leaks, and proper closure. Build and move finished-product pallets. Lift and stack filled pails, including placement on the third and fourth tiers of a pallet. Wrap, label, and move completed pallets to designated storage or shipping areas. Support receiving, shipping, and warehouse operations. Unload, inspect, count, and store sesame bags, packaging, and other supplies. Pick and stage orders, load shipments, maintain stock rotation and lot identification, and keep materials organized. Operate forklifts and pallet jacks after completing required training, evaluation, and authorization. Clean and sanitize the facility and equipment. Perform routine cleanup and scheduled deep cleaning of machinery, production areas, floors, tools, and warehouse areas. Disassemble and reassemble equipment for cleaning when trained and authorized. Follow approved cleaning, chemical-handling, and equipment-isolation procedures. Complete checks and records. Check product condition, fill weights, labels, and required process readings. Accurately record production quantities, lot numbers, inventory movements, and assigned cleaning or quality checks. Immediately report damaged materials, equipment problems, or food-safety concerns, and stop affected work when necessary. Follow safety procedures and support the team. Follow food-safety, personal-hygiene, allergen-control, and workplace-safety requirements. Wear required protective equipment, keep walkways clear, and never bypass machine safeguards. Perform other related production, warehouse, sanitation, and facility-support duties as assigned, within your training and authorization.
