The position focuses on maintaining production efficiency, performing equipment setup and basic troubleshooting, and supporting maintenance activities to minimize downtime.

Additionally, the operator plays a critical role in ensuring product quality, food safety, and regulatory compliance by verifying weights, labeling accuracy, and adhering to GMP and HACCP standards.

Quality, Food Safety & Sanitation

Specification Verification: Read scales and check case weights constantly to ensure product meets exact customer specifications and weight tolerances.
Coding Accuracy: Verify that labeling, lot coding, and date coding correspond accurately with the specific lettuce variety being harvested for the shift.
Corrective Action: Determine if product meets proper quality and packaging integrity specifications; take immediate corrective action or reject product as needed.
Sanitation & Cleanliness: Execute continuous sanitation and cleanup of all processing and packaging areas throughout the day.
Compliance Reporting: Adhere strictly to safe work practices, GMP, and HACCP guidelines. Report any conditions or practices that may adversely affect food safety, quality, or personnel safety management immediately.
