At its Orange, Connecticut location, Glanbia Nutritionals is seeking a dedicated Material Handler to join the Warehouse department reporting directly to the Warehouse Supervisor. This role is an hourly paid position demanding accountability, accuracy, and efficiency in the handling of materials within the warehouse environment. The Material Handler plays a critical role in ensuring materials are moved physically and electronically with precision to support the company’s manufacturing and distribution processes.
The Material Handler’s responsibilities include physically moving, racking, and electronically scanning raw materials and finished goods. This involves performing timely and accurate cycle counts to manage and maintain inventory integrity.

Glanbia places strong emphasis on quality assurance by requiring familiarity with current Good Manufacturing Practices (cGMPs), SOPs, Hazard Analysis Critical Control Point (HACCP) programs, and other similar quality standards. Physical demands of the job are considerable, including regular lifting up to 55 pounds, extensive walking, bending, pushing, and pulling in a dynamic manufacturing environment. Candidates must demonstrate an ability to maintain focus, accuracy, and speed in a fast-paced setting while following strict safety and quality protocols.
