Job Description:

???? Fermentation Technician
Help Ferment Flavor (and Not Just Your Career)
Ever wondered who’s behind the scenes of beautifully fermented soy sauce? Like working with tanks bigger than your first apartment and processes older than most trends? We may have your next role.
We’re looking for a Tank Farm, Moromi & Brine Technician—part fermentation wrangler, part sanitation superhero, part meticulous record keeper—to keep our tanks bubbling happily and our brine precisely salty.
•  ?? What You’ll Do
•  Tend to fermentation tanks like the living ecosystems they are
•  Load, aerate, agitate, sample, and unload product like a pro
•  Prepare and control brine (yes, it matters—a lot)
•  Collect samples for quality testing and keep spotless records
•  Clean and sanitize equipment between batches
•  Monitor processes and report anything out of the ordinary
•  Assist with wastewater treatment and general plant operations
•  Follow food safety, sanitation, and safety rules (always)
•  ? What You Bring
•  1+ year of experience in industrial food manufacturing fermentation experience
•  Comfort with machinery, piping, meters, and working environments that are noisy, dirty, hot, cold, wet, or all of the above
•  Ability to lift up to 50 lbs, climb ladders, and stay on your feet most of the day
•  Solid communication skills and attention to detail
•  Willingness to work flexible schedules (yes, fermentations don’t clock out at 5)
•  ? The Environment
•  Inside and outside work
•  PPE required (we’ll provide it)
•  Fast paced, repetitive, and hands on
•  Strong smells, extreme temps, loud equipment—this is real manufacturing, not a desk job
•  ? The Basics
•  High school diploma or equivalent
•  Math skills for basic calculations
•  Ability to work independently and as part of a diverse team

If you enjoy process, precision, and working with food at an industrial scale—and you don’t mind getting a little salty—this might be the role for you.

Must pass pre-employment background and drug screen (per Federal guidelines not OR state)
Apply today and help turn time, tanks, and technique into flavor.
