Description
🏢 **About Us:**
An artisanal tea production facility in Portland, OR, is hiring a Packaging Associate for our loose-leaf tea department. We pack black, green, herbal, and custom signature blends. Here, you don't just mechanically move parts—you must respect that every tea variety has its own character, and cross-contamination ruins the batch.
📋 **Core Responsibilities:**
• Precision Dosing: Weighing exact portions on digital scales (tolerance of +/- 1 gram).
• Packaging: Filling foil-lined bags to preserve aroma and freshness.
• Labeling: Applying batch numbers and dates accurately.
• Staging: Boxing finished packs for shipment.
• Sanitation: Thoroughly cleaning all equipment between runs (e.g., wiping down after mint tea before packing black tea).
🎓 **Requirements:**
• Strict adherence to cross-contamination protocols and a dry, clean workspace.
• Comfortable working in an environment with strong, constant aromas of tea and herbs.
• Calm, methodical pace; we value accuracy and neatness over raw speed.
✨ **What We Offer:**
• Target Salary: $36,000 USD annually.
• Full-time, on-site role in Portland, OR.
• A unique, aromatic workspace and a team that values craftsmanship.
