The role

Operate and maintain tea packaging machinery, blend ingredients, keep accurate production records, and pack finished products. You’ll support our production team, help meet production goals, and maintain our food safety and quality standards.

What you’ll do

  • Set up, operate, monitor, and adjust tea-filling and packaging machines.
  • Troubleshoot basic mechanical issues, make adjustments, and communicate equipment problems to the production team.
  • Perform routine machine maintenance, cleaning, sanitation, and changeovers between production runs.
  • Weigh and blend tea ingredients accurately using approved recipes and batch instructions.
  • Record ingredient quantities, supplier lot numbers, finished batch numbers, and production output to maintain traceability.
  • Follow our SQF food safety program, Good Manufacturing Practices (GMPs), and applicable HACCP procedures.
  • Check fill weights, seals, labeling, and finished-product appearance.
  • Assemble, label, and pack tea tubes, pouches, gift boxes, and customer orders as needed.
  • Support inventory tracking, material preparation, and production planning for your shifts.
  • Coordinate with other operators and packing assistants, and leave equipment, tools, and production areas clean and ready for the next shift.
Willingness to pitch in is essential. Some shifts may involve more blending, packing, or cleaning than machine operation. You must be comfortable helping wherever production needs you.

What you’ll bring

  • Required availability for evening and/or weekend shifts.
  • Mechanical aptitude and an interest in learning production equipment.
  • Manufacturing, food production, packaging, or equipment maintenance experience is preferred. Industrial machinery experience—tea machines or otherwise—is a big plus.
  • Attention to detail in weighing, following recipes, and recordkeeping.
  • A basic understanding of HACCP and food safety, or a willingness to learn and consistently follow our procedures.
  • The ability to follow written instructions, recognize quality issues, and ask for help.
  • Comfort working independently after training and communicating clearly with the daytime team.
  • Reliability, punctuality, and willingness to perform repetitive production and packing tasks.
  • The ability to stand for extended periods and lift and move up to 50 lbs., with or without reasonable accommodation.
