Staffing Agency Associate - Food Assembly

About the role

The Food Assembly Associate plays a key role in crafting Manly Man Co.’s signature food-based gifts — from our famous Beef Jerky Bouquets to other unique edible creations.

Overtime opportunities will be offered during peak production periods for high performing staff.
