Assembly Team Member - Food Manufacturing

Full-Time | Daytime hours | Starting at $16.00/hour

Hospitality starts long before a customer opens the lid.

At Fitlife, every meal is made from scratch and plated by hand. As an Assembly Team Member at our Culinary Center, you’ll build each meal to its plating guide so it looks just right at every store and in every home delivery. Your care often makes someone pick up that meal and trust us with the next one.

If you take pride in getting the details right, care about the person on the other end of your work, and want to work somewhere that cares about your growth, we’d love to meet you. Oh, and lunch is on us every day.

Who we are

We run on the Entrepreneurial Operating System (EOS), so you’ll always know what’s expected, how you’re doing, and how your work connects to the bigger picture.
