Laitram Machinery is looking for a Sanitation Worker to assist with cleaning, sanitizing and maintaining production equipment, along with other tasks and responsibilities. This position will report directly to the Project Manager. The Food Sanitation Worker is a member of a cleaning crew whose duties are to clean and sanitize food processing plants, to meet Quality Control and Bacterial Standards imposed by the customer and applicable governmental agencies, such as the FDA. The cleaning crew is required to completely clean and sanitize the plant quickly and efficiently during relatively short time periods between the plant's normal production shifts, which typically requires that the sanitation worker work during late evenings/night/early mornings shifts (specific work shift to be determined by the supervisor) and possible overtime (weekends, days, evenings).
The sanitation worker is required to work in an environment that is wet, very humid and undergoes extreme temperature changes, from hot to very cold. Due to the changing environment, a worker must constantly be aware of the effects of these changes. The sanitation worker will also be working around large processing equipment in which chemicals will be used to complete the sanitation process.
While performing the duties of this job, the employee is regularly required to stand and walk for the duration of the production shift. The employee is infrequently required to sit; climb, balance; and stoop, kneel, or crouch. The employee must infrequently lift up to 50 pounds.
