PRODUCTION ASSOCIATE
BIG CREEK FOODS • FULL TIME • ONSITE • $17.50-$18/HOUR (BASED ON EXPERIENCE)
ABOUT THE COMPANY
At Big Creek Foods, we make pet treats that pet owners feel good about. Based in Gainesville, Georgia, we’ve spent 25 years developing and producing custom treat programs for pet brands, from meat and non-meat treats to our newest Semi-Moist line. Our in-house nutritionist formulates every product, and our on-site Innovation Center is where new ideas turn into real products.
In early 2023, Scholtus Group Holding acquired Big Creek Foods, expanding our production capabilities and adding Semi-Moist treats to what we make. As we grow, quality and food safety stay at the center of everything we do, and our Production team is a big part of that. If you take pride in your work and want to be part of a company making products for pets, we’d love to meet you.
