Job description
Are you a reliable and detail-oriented production professional seeking a rewarding career opportunity in manufacturing & logistics in Guelph, Ontario? We are currently hiring a dedicated Packaging Operator to join a fast-paced food manufacturing and distribution environment. As a Packaging Operator, you will play a central role in setting up, running, and adjusting high-speed packaging machinery to ensure high quality, accuracy, and operational efficiency across all production packaging lines.
In this full-time Packaging Operator position, you will read and interpret detailed job tickets to configure machine stops, guides, and material feed requirements. Working within a heavily regulated Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) and Safe Quality Food (SQF) framework, your day-to-day duties as a Packaging Operator will involve monitoring active machinery for mechanical defects or jams, performing routine in-process inspections on finished goods, and making precise operational adjustments as needed. Safety and sanitary compliance are paramount in manufacturing & logistics; therefore, you will strictly adhere to personal protective equipment (PPE) requirements—including safety footwear with CSA tags, protective coats, hairnets, masks, and gloves—for the entirety of your shift.
If you bring 6-12 months of hands-on machinery or warehouse experience and excel in structured manufacturing & logistics settings, this Packaging Operator role offers a stable day-shift schedule (Monday to Friday, 7:00 AM – 3:00 PM) with a competitive pay rate of $18.00 per hour.

• Consistent, predictable day-shift schedule: Monday to Friday, 7:00 AM to 3:00 PM.
• Stable full-time employment within the essential manufacturing & logistics sector in Guelph.
• Clean, well-regulated, and safe working environment adhering to high SQF standards.
• Gain valuable hands-on experience on modern packaging lines working alongside skilled industry professionals.
• Ongoing career development, guidance, and dedicated support from experienced Randstad Operational recruiters.
Responsibilities
• Read job tickets and production specifications carefully to determine proper machine stops, guides, and material feed requirements.
• Set up, calibrate, start, and run automated packaging machinery according to established line speeds and rules.
• Monitor machinery continuously during operation to detect physical defects, equipment jams, or minor mechanical malfunctions.
• Perform routine quality control inspections on finished packaged goods to verify seal integrity, label placement, and package weight.
• Execute basic troubleshooting procedures and make minor mechanical adjustments to ensure uninterrupted packaging flow.
• Assist team members and co-workers with machine setups, product stacking, carton marking, packing, and transporting finished goods.
• Perform thorough cleaning and sanitation procedures on packaging machinery and assigned work areas according to schedule.
• Comply fully with workplace safety, Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP), and Safe Quality Food (SQF) regulations.
• Maintain zero-jewelry, no false nails or nail polish, and no false eyelashes hygiene protocols inside regulated work zones.
• Perform additional material handling, line packing, and warehouse support tasks as assigned by manufacturing & logistics supervisors.
Qualifications
• High School Diploma or equivalent education credential.
• 1 to 2 years of experience in a packaging, machine operating, or warehouse setting; previous experience in the food industry is considered a strong asset.
• Demonstrated physical capability to regularly lift and move up to 50 lbs safely throughout the shift.
• Demonstrated ability to perform basic mathematical calculations involving units of measure, fractions, and decimals.
• Strict adherence to all safety guidelines, Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP), and Safe Quality Food (SQF) standards.
