THE ROLE:

As a Gummy Production Technician, you’ll be at the heart of how our gummies are made. Working hands-on alongside our production leads, you’ll help coordinate and run gummy pours: keeping cooks, molds, materials and people in sync so every batch is poured on time, on spec and to our quality standards. From staging ingredients and prepping molds to monitoring pours and cleaning down between runs, you’ll keep the line moving in a fast-paced, rapidly growing operation.

WHO YOU ARE:

You are dependable and thrive in a fast-paced production environment. When a pour is ready, timing matters, and your team can count on you to be in the right place with the right materials.

You are detail-oriented and take pride in your work. You follow recipes, temperatures and batch records precisely, knowing that consistency in every gummy is what our customers trust.

You are a strong communicator who keeps the team in sync, calling out timing, flagging issues early and making clean handoffs between steps.

You possess a growth mindset, as you value your role as a contributing member of our growing team and company.

WHAT YOU’LL DO:

• Coordinate Pours: Support production leads in planning and sequencing gummy pours, keeping cooking, depositing and mold staging on schedule.

• Document Accurately: Complete batch records, logs and checklists clearly and on time.
• Monitor Quality: Perform in-process checks (such as temperature, weights and appearance) and escalate issues to the production lead/manager right away.
• Handle Post-Pour Steps: Assist with curing, demolding, finishing and moving product to packaging.
• Maintain Cleanliness: Clean and sanitize kettles, depositors, molds, utensils and work areas between pours and at end of shift.
• Operate Equipment: Safely operate production equipment and perform routine upkeep, reporting any issues promptly.
• Overtime Opportunities: Availability for overtime pay/hours with weekend work as necessary.

SKILLS, EXPERIENCE AND QUALITIES THAT WILL HELP YOU BE SUCCESSFUL:

• Experience: 1-2 years in a food, confectionery, beverage or other manufacturing production environment; gummy or candy experience is a plus.

• Communication: Clear verbal and written communication, especially when coordinating timing on the floor.
