Like working with equipment, staying active, and learning how things work? This could be a great fit.

We’re hiring a Shaving Line Operator to join an established manufacturing team in Brownsville. This is a hands-on production role where you’ll do more than stand in one spot all day — you’ll operate equipment, keep materials moving, perform quality checks, and learn multiple parts of the production process.

If you have manufacturing experience, enjoy operating machinery, and aren’t afraid to jump in and get the job done, we want to hear from you!
What You’ll Do
  • Operate production and packaging equipment, including baggers, balers, shrink-wrappers, and bag sealers.
  • Use pallet jacks and other material-handling equipment to keep production moving.
  • Inspect finished bags for proper seals and quality.
  • Operate skid steers or front-end loaders to load feed bins.
  • Learn and support pellet mill operations.
  • Watch for material, moisture, or equipment issues and communicate them to your Shift Lead.
  • Perform basic equipment maintenance, including greasing mills and changing or sharpening blades.
  • Troubleshoot minor equipment issues to help minimize downtime.
  • Jump into other production areas when your team needs an extra hand.
What You’ll Have
  • Previous manufacturing, production, warehouse, or equipment-operation experience preferred.
  • Forklift experience; certification is a plus.
  • Comfort working around machinery and learning new equipment.
  • Mechanical aptitude and willingness to perform basic maintenance.
  • Ability to regularly lift and maneuver 40–50 lb. bags.
  • Willingness to learn equipment such as skid steers, loaders, and chainsaws.
  • Strong safety awareness and attention to detail.
  • Most importantly — dependability, a willingness to learn, and a solid work ethic.
Why You’ll Love It
  • $18/hour with consistent full-time work.
  • Day-shift schedule — off by 2:30 PM!
  • Hands-on work that keeps you moving.
  • Learn to operate several different types of production equipment.
  • Build valuable manufacturing and equipment-operation experience.
  • Opportunity to grow your skills and take on additional responsibilities.
  • Medical and dental benefits available upon permanent hire.
  • 401(k) with company match available upon eligibility.
  • Paid vacation and holiday benefits available upon eligibility.
  • Supportive team environment with opportunities for advancement.
Ready to Get to Work?
If you enjoy operating equipment, working with your hands, and being part of a team that gets things done, this could be the opportunity you’ve been looking for.
