Description

South Mountain Creamery is a dairy farm family- we bottle our own milk and make our own butter, and ice cream. We brought the milkman back in 2001 and have been making home deliveries to the DMV area for 24 years and counting! The crew here at SMC is proud of what we do, and we approach every situation with our Values in mind. We believe every contribution (big or small) is worth making remarkable enough to be remembered, or more simply put, whatever we do, we make it legendairy.

We are currently hiring for a Bottle Washer Operator in our Chambersburg, PA location!

Our Production Teams are entrusted with the technical process that is cleaning and sanitizing our reusable glass bottles, and pasteurizing and bottling the dairy products we all know and love. Think mad chef meets an even madder scientist making the best chocolate milk around.

• Ensuring all rinse tanks are full
• Verifying that all spray nozzles are working properly 
• Double checking bottles leaving the washer for the filler line are up to cleanliness standards
• Being responsible for bottle counts, ensuring they are correct for each run

• Cleaning floors and walls, wiping down the machine, removing trash

This position is Monday - Friday 6:30am – 3pm, some flexibility is required due to emergencies, workload, etc.

Requirements

This position will be cross-trained to perform other functions and works in varying temperature zones – the bottle washer/production area gets hot at times, and there are refrigerated and freezer sections that house some of our products, so the incumbent will need to be able to enter those environments to work on tasks as needed. Along with being able to operate machinery, this person will need to be able to lift approximately 30- 40 lbs intermittently, navigate uneven surfaces and be on their feet for their shift.
