Full Job Description

Open Gates Group is a family of companies based near Kalona, IA, dedicated to supporting our employees and enriching our community. Deeply rooted in commitment to local farmers, we started with a creamery and have since grown to include 10 additional food industry businesses. Today, we proudly help source, produce, sell, and transport high-quality Midwestern products to over 3,500 stores across the nation. Our Organic Milk comes from grass-fed cows on small, family-owned farms that prioritize sustainability. We pasteurize our milk at the lowest temperature allowed by law (never ultra-pasteurized or sterilized) and keep it non-homogenized with a rich, delicious cream top. We’re looking for a Production Processor to join our team at Kalona Creamery!

This position oversees the setup, operation, packaging, and cleaning of production equipment related to cheese, hummus, and yogurt manufacturing.

Perform sanitation and clean-up duties to maintain food safety and operational efficiency.
Maintain quality standards in accordance with State and Federal regulatory requirements.
Stay current with required production technology and equipment operation.
Uphold, support, and promote all company policies, procedures, and safety standards.
Perform additional duties as needed to support successful business operations.

Positive attitude, high integrity, and alignment with OG’s mission, vision, values, and operating principles.

Requirements/Work Environment

Work is performed in a food manufacturing environment with exposure to wet floors, temperature variation, noise, and moving equipment.
Regular exposure to food allergens and cleaning/sanitation chemicals.
Ability to lift and carry up to 40 pounds occasionally.
