The company is widely recognized for its commitment to quality, innovation, and community support, and operates a network of 14 facilities located across the United States, Mexico, and Canada. Employing over 4,500 dedicated professionals, Reser's emphasizes a culture that prioritizes personal development, safety, and employee well-being, making it a favored employer within the food manufacturing sector. At Reser's, employees benefit from a comprehensive compensation and benefits package designed to promote healthier living, career growth, and financial security. This package includes medical, dental, and vision coverage, accidental death and dismemberment (AD&D) insurance, life insurance, and a 401(k) plan with discretionary matching contributions. In addition, Reser's offers wellness programs and paid holidays and vacation time, reflecting its commitment to work-life balance. These benefits are part of Reser's mission to be recognized as an Employer of Choice, fostering a workplace environment where individuals feel valued and motivated to build lasting careers. The role of a Food Processing Machine Operator at Reser's is integral to the production process. This position is responsible for operating basic food processing machinery that produces intermediate food products. Operators combine raw and processed ingredients using these machines while ensuring strict adherence to company quality and safety standards. The role requires meticulous attention to detail, as operators must monitor machine operations closely to maintain product conformity with company guidelines regarding quality, date, weight, and temperature. Additional responsibilities include cleaning and sanitizing equipment to uphold hygienic standards, maintaining a clean work area, and following safety protocols aligned with Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points (HACCP) requirements and Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP). The role demands regular attendance and punctuality due to the collaborative nature of the work environment and the handling of sensitive equipment and products. Working conditions include operating within a refrigerated food manufacturing plant, where temperatures can vary significantly—from as low as 25 degrees Fahrenheit to as high as 110 degrees Fahrenheit. The position involves physical demands such as repetitively lifting and carrying objects weighing up to 50 pounds, along with extended periods of walking and standing. The production schedule may also require flexibility to accommodate overtime and shifts during evenings or weekends. Ideal candidates for this position will have prior experience in operating machinery and familiarity with the food industry, though these are preferred rather than mandatory. Communication skills in English are essential, and bilingual abilities in English and Spanish are considered a valuable asset. This role offers individuals the opportunity to contribute to a respected and growing company that values its employees and community engagement, while also gaining important skills in food manufacturing and production processes.
