Full Job Description

Picking Belt Operator

Job Summary
- The Picking Belt Operator position is to visibly inspect pecan products to ensure customer specifications and quality parameters are being met. The picking operation is used to remove any foreign material (shells, sticks, paper, plastic, etc. - any item other than a pecan) missed by electronic sorting prior to packaging of the pecan products.

Reports
- Picking Belt Operators report to the Finished Product Department Supervisor

Responsibilities – include but are not limited to the following:
- The objective of the position is to remove foreign material, such as shells, off grades, plastic, or anything that should not be in the finished product.
- Careful attention must be shown by an operator so that no foreign material gets into the finished product. This means that when product is running on the belts, the operator’s eyes should never wonder from the belt. Also, no talking is allowed while product is running on the belt because careful listening will allow operators to hear foreign material such as rocks or metal as it comes down the picking table. No distraction should be present while the product is running.
- Good Vision is a requirement of this position. Eyeglasses should be worn during operations if prescribed to you. Operators are tested quarterly through placing a known amount of foreign material in a sample. This test must be passed to remain working on a belt.
- The front sizing screens must be kept clean and free of clogs so that any smaller pieces not intended in the finished product can be sized out.
- Operators are responsible for alerting the forklift operators when a bin is empty, and a full bin is needed.
- The speed of the picking belt should be determined by the operator and supervisor because it is dependent upon the quality of the nuts being run from a particular bin. The quality is consistently changing so the belt speed requires constant attention.
- Remain in work area except on lunch or break periods (breaks and lunch determined by Dept. Supv)

Cleaning Responsibilities - Include but are not limited to the following:
- The area around the picking tables should remain clean and swept. If product gets on the floor, stop and clean it up and place it in correct floor sweep bin.
- Picking belts should be cleaned and sanitized at the beginning of the shift and after breaks and lunches.
- Assist in any cleaning needed in the picking room or in the plant as needed.
- Clean racks daily
- Keep screens clean and once used clean before putting them back into the proper slot on the screen rack. Screens should never be put up dirty because it can be a place for microbes and insects to harbor.
