Full job description

Northern Foods Processing is hiring a Packaging Operator to join our Lethbridge team.

About Northern Foods Processing

Northern Foods Processing is a family-owned food manufacturing business based in Lethbridge. Founded in 2019, we run 2 locations in the Calgary–Edmonton corridor and employ a tight team that values doing the work well over scale.

About the role

You'll run packaging lines that fill, seal, label, and case product: starting up the line, monitoring fill weights and seal quality, clearing minor jams, and completing changeovers between product formats. You'll perform scheduled quality checks and record the results, keep your area clean to food-safety or GMP standards where applicable, and stage packaging materials so the line never starves. When output drifts from spec, you catch it early and call it out.

What you'll bring

You bring attention to detail at line speed, reliability across rotating shifts, and comfort with the noise and pace of a packaging floor. You follow procedures exactly, keep accurate records without being reminded, and take real ownership of the quality leaving your line.

Applications are reviewed on a rolling basis. We respond to everyone we shortlist.

Required Qualifications

  • Previous experience on packaging, bottling, or production lines an asset
  • Ability to stand for full shifts and lift up to 20 kg repeatedly
  • Comfort completing quality checks and simple production paperwork
  • Eligibility to work in Canada

Benefits

  • Boot and uniform allowance
  • Annual safety-record bonus
  • Shift premium for afternoons and nights
  • Cafeteria with subsidized meals
