Why Process at Good Sense Foods — on 1st or 2nd Shift

Good Sense Foods is a growing, second‑generation, family‑owned food manufacturer that’s been crafting better‑for‑you snacks since 1976. Our people‑first culture has earned us Best Place to Work recognition seven years in a row .

We’re currently hiring Processing Operators for both 1st and 2nd shift , with additional earning potential on 2nd shift through a shift differential. No matter the shift, you’ll build real food manufacturing skills in a stable, long‑term environment.

About the Role

This is a hands‑on, physical position in a fast‑paced food manufacturing environment. You’ll be responsible for mixing ingredients, operating processing equipment, and following detailed recipes to produce high‑quality products.

This role is ideal for candidates with food processing experience who want more than a short‑term job — and are looking to grow into a long‑term, technical food manufacturing career on either shift.

What You’ll Be Trained On

You won’t be stuck in a generic “production” role. Operators gain experience on industry‑standard equipment, including:

  • Oil roasters
  • Tumbler mixers
  • Hot panning systems
  • Enrobers
  • Food processing and blending equipment

These are transferable, in‑demand skills that support advancement within Good Sense Foods.

What You’ll Do

  • Set up and operate food processing and blending equipment
  • Accurately measure, weigh, and mix large ingredient batches
  • Follow production recipes and work orders
  • Monitor quality, temperature, and product consistency
  • Keep production running efficiently
  • Clean and sanitize processing equipment
  • Follow GMPs, allergen controls, and food safety standards
  • Perform physical work including lifting up to 50 lbs, climbing steps, and extended standing

Start Here. Grow Here.

Start on 1st or 2nd shift — grow into your next role.

At Good Sense Foods, dependable operators can advance based on performance and skill, not speed‑to‑hire. Career growth opportunities include:

  • Skilled Machine Operator roles
  • Lead and trainer positions
  • Technical and quality‑focused career paths

What We’re Looking For

  • 1–2 years of food processing experience in a manufacturing environment
  • Ability to lift up to 50 lbs and perform physical tasks
  • Strong attention to detail and reliability
  • Positive, team‑focused attitude
  • Alignment with our core values: Results, Integrity, and Goodwill
  • Availability for 1st or 2nd shift (2nd shift earns a differential)

Why You’ll Love Working Here

  • Competitive pay
  • 2nd‑shift differential pay
  • Advancement and long‑term growth opportunities
  • Growing, second‑generation family‑owned company
  • Supportive, team‑oriented environment
  • Work that directly impacts product quality
  • Consistently recognized as a Best Place to Work

Apply Today
