Springside Cheese Production Associate For our guests, Springside Cheese offers a selection of the finest hand-crafted cheeses that deliver nourishment to the body and soul. One of the great benefits of working as a production associate is that you are creating real products that impact people's lives. You are joining a century-long tradition of producing award-winning classic cheeses using traditional production methods and milk from local dairy producers. Our production associates have a full appreciation for working in sanitary environments, understand food safety policies, local and federal guidelines and are meticulous about documenting all areas of cheese production. They are eager to learn, have a passion for their communities and take pride in producing safe and delicious cheese. All our staff members demonstrate a strong commitment to cooperation by working seamlessly across team lines and are willing to adapt and be flexible in support of company goals. A typical day in the life of a Springside Cheese Production Associate looks like: From farm to fridge, you'll assist in the entire manufacturing process of cheese as well as packaging, shipping and inventory management. The job is for you if: You have passion for food, especially cheese. You are flexible and can adapt with ease during busy production periods. Your schedule is open to working weekends, holidays and evenings. You can lift up to 80lbs like its paper and standing for long periods of time is not a challenge. You think on your feet, like learning new things and can learn quickly. When things change, you know how to roll with the punches. You communicate clearly and have an eye for efficiency. You pay attention to the details, take action when something needs attention and stay focused. Nothing falls through the cracks on your watch. You are motivated and will take ownership of the time you spend with us and truly make a difference. Joining our family doesn't require a degree in cheese. We prefer you have experience in chemistry, microbiology or culinary studies. You must also have a high school diploma or GED equivalent with at least 1 year of experience in food production work or physical labor. Internships, volunteer work and side projects count. Just make sure we see where you picked up your love of cheese and production somewhere in your application.
