Job Description:
The Packaging Machine Operator is responsible for setting up and
operating assigned packaging machines and statistical scales to
pack the optimum number of quality packages of product. A key
component of PepsiCo's success, Frito-Lay has been making the very
best snacks for over 80 years. Classic Lay's -, Cheetos -, and
Doritos - are just a few of the products that you would help us
produce in one of our manufacturing facilities. Although you will
start out working for Frito-Lay, this job can open the door to
career opportunities with our parent company, PepsiCo.As a
Full-Time team member, you would work between 40 and 50 hours per
week and overtime may be required. We set industry standards in
terms of pay and benefits. We also offer unbeatable benefits
including health insurance, dental and vision, retirement savings
benefits including 401(k) with company contribution, vacation days
and much more.As a Packaging Machine Operator, you can expect to be
working on your feet the entirety of your shift near heavy
machinery in a loud manufacturing environment. Frito-Lay
manufacturing facilities are also large. While we want everyone to
feel comfortable, our ability to control the temperature is
limited. Indoor warehouse working conditions are impacted by
seasons and the weather.After training (a process that can last 8
to 16 weeks), here is a list of the more frequent tasks you could
expect to perform: * You will set-up and operate multiple packaging
machines to ensure accurate code dates, weights, and that products
are put into appropriate bags. * You will check that products are
dated and sealed with a minimum amount of wasted product and
supplies. * You will also be responsible for ensuring that products
to be packed remain clean. * You will maintain a clean and safe
work area. Safety is everyone's job. * You will perform basic
preventative maintenance on packaging machines such as cleaning or
switching out knives and blades, pull-belts, tape machines, or
rollers, depending on the need. * You will wear protective gear
when using chemicals to clean and sanitize lines during changeovers
from one product to another. * You will inspect conveyors and
scales prior to line start-ups & changeovers. * You will
troubleshoot commonplace problems and make operational
adjustments.Packaging Machine Operators work with every product
that Frito-Lay produces, which means you should consider the
potential allergens we work with: dairy, wheat, soy, garlic, salt,
and particular oils (e.g. sunflower). You should also keep in mind
that we make popular spicy snacks, like Flamin' Hot Cheetos
-.Please take a moment to ensure that you meet the minimum
requirements for this position: * You are at least 18 years of age
or older * You will be required to work on weekends, holidays as
well as off shift * You are mechanically inclined and can think
that way. Having at least 1 year of machine operator experience in
a high-speed manufacturing environment would be a good indicator to
our hiring team. * It's a physical job: you are able to lift 50 lbs
from floor to waist (e.g. a twin-size mattress) with or without a
reasonable accommodation * You have basic math skills and can read
and write in English * You are able to stand and walk for extended
periods of time with or without a reasonable accommodation * You
are able to climb, bend, reach, stoop, kneel, and stretch for
extended periods with or without a reasonable accommodation * You
are able to repeatedly lift, carry, push, pull, and handle products
with or without a reasonable accommodation * You are willing and
able to work at heights using ladders or lifts to access areas of
the plantPeople often ask what kind of characteristics will make
them successful in this position. Do you think you have what it
takes to perform at our level? Here is an idea of what our managers
are looking for: * Good Communicator: you will be interacting with
various co-workers, from junior employees to leadership. * Problem
Solving: our business depends on us keeping packaging machines
operating. You tackle commonplace mechanical issues with machinery
and quickly come up with a "plan B" when needed, such as during a
changeover or starting a new line. * Efficient: you prioritize
tasks while multitasking. For example, you might be changing film
on one line as a second line breaks down; meanwhile, a packer is
shutting off a line which will require your attention; it is at
this point when a manager approaches you and asks how things are
going. * Leadership: we trust you to help make sure that everything
is going smoothly. You will coach packers and processing operators
by providing courteous support and feedback. * Tech Savvy:
Frito-Lay is an industry leader when it comes to smart automated
technology and tracking production and inventory. Having a comfort
level learning new technology will help you thrive in our
performance based culture. * High Integrity: mistakes can lead to
food safety and regulatory issues which is why all Frito-Lay
employees are forthcoming and transparent about mistakes.Does this
