Company Overview:

Ancient Crunch Inc. is the fastest-growing healthy snack brand in the US. MASA Chips, our top product, is the no.1 selling tortilla chip in popular stores like Erewhon. We use only real ingredients like beef tallow—no seed oils or artificial flavors or ingredients—and manufacture everything ourselves in Hackettstown, NJ.

Job Description:

We are seeking a full-time, on-site Maintenance Mechanic to join our team. The Mechanic-Maintenance will fill an essential role in monitoring and maintaining plant equipment and overall maintenance needs, improving productivity, food safety, team member satisfaction and operations efficiencies.

The successful candidate will support Operations with the focus on zero or minimal workflow interruptions, and will work to build relationships with Production Team and QA Team members.

This is an exciting opportunity working in a fast-paced, small, lean food manufacturing organization. The ideal candidate has strong communications skills, is detail oriented, highly ethical, and possesses a desire for problem prevention and solving.

- Work with integrity, accuracy, and moral conduct as related to all business opportunities and activities

- Active involvement daily with all team members monitoring and verifying PM plan needs and emergency maintenance needs.

- Manage relationships with approved third-party vendors whose expertise is essential to certain maintenance tasks.

- Participate in continuous improvements to product safety and quality with various department members

- Follow all plant safety, USDA, SQF and GMP guidelines

- Knowledge of electronics related to equipment will be a plus but not a must to be considered for the job

- Perform other related duties as assigned or requested
