Classic Lay's(r), Cheetos(r), and Doritos(r) 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 Packaging Machine Operator "C", you can expect to be working on your feet the entirety of your shift near heavy machinery in a loud manufacturing environment.

After training (a process that can last 2 - 3 weeks), here is a list of the more frequent tasks you could expect to perform:
You will adhere to Food Safety and Quality standards of Frito Lay. You will set up and operate packaging machines (e.g., auto case packer, thickness seal checker, compact palletizing cells) while maintaining proper line efficiencies, low packaging waste, and minimal floor waste. You will 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 and lubrication 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 identify and troubleshoot opportunities with transformational equipment and fault recognition.

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.
