We believe real nourishment begins with high-quality ingredients, thoughtful preparation, and respect for the body. Our juices are made for people who care about their health, how they feel, and what they put into their bodies. Our products are sold through wellness-focused markets, gyms, studios, farmers markets, and health-conscious communities throughout San Diego. About the Role We are looking for a positive, dependable, health-minded person to help with weekly Friday production at our commercial kitchen in Vista. This is a hands-on role working directly with the owner and production team to transform fresh organic produce into finished juices and wellness shots. The right person should genuinely care about health, real nourishment, clean ingredients, and high-quality work. A positive attitude is extremely important. We want someone who brings good energy into the kitchen, is willing to learn, takes pride in their work, and understands that the quality of our products begins with the quality of our process. This is not a cashier or primarily customer-service position. The focus is on clean, efficient, careful, high-quality production. Responsibilities * Arrive on time, prepared, and ready to contribute * Wash, sanitize, and prepare organic produce * Assist with juicing and follow recipes and production instructions carefully * Help operate production equipment after training * Bottle, cap, and label juices and functional wellness shots * Check product presentation, labels, counts, and organization * Organize finished products in coolers and prepare orders * Help track inventory and communicate supply shortages * Maintain a clean and organized workspace throughout the day * Follow food-handling and sanitation procedures * Clean and sanitize equipment, tools, surfaces, floors, and work areas * Maintain a surgical-level standard of hygiene throughout production * Complete a thorough end-of-day kitchen cleanup and reset * Work efficiently while maintaining accuracy and attention to detail * Communicate clearly about equipment issues, damaged products, or production concerns What We’re Looking For The ideal candidate is: * A genuinely positive person with a good attitude * Passionate about health, wellness, clean ingredients, and real nourishment * Extremely clean and disciplined in their work habits * Comfortable maintaining a surgical-level standard of hygiene * Dependable, punctual, and consistent * Available to work Fridays every week * Organized and highly detail-oriented * Comfortable standing and working for most of the day * Able to lift and carry produce boxes, beverage cases, and coolers * Energetic and comfortable with repetitive hands-on work * Able to follow recipes and instructions carefully * Respectful, coachable, and easy to work with * Comfortable taking direction while also showing initiative * Interested in growing with a serious local company Kitchen, restaurant, juice, catering, food-production, or warehouse experience is helpful but not required. We can train the right person on our recipes and systems, but reliability, cleanliness, work ethic, positive energy, and consistency are essential. Opportunity for Growth This role has the potential to grow with Noah’s Juices. For the right person—someone who demonstrates exceptional reliability, leadership, initiative, passion, and long-term commitment—there may be future opportunities for increased responsibility, additional hours, company profit-sharing, equity participation, or a formal partnership arrangement. These opportunities would be based on sustained performance, mutual trust, leadership, and the continued growth of Noah’s Juices. Any ownership or partnership arrangement would be discussed separately and documented formally. Pay: $20.00 - $25.00 per hour Benefits: * Employee discount * Profit sharing Work Location: In person

Provide oversight on the development and validation of CNC programs, fixture designs, and welding processes. Support the internal setup of new manufacturing capabilities, including facility layout planning, equipment specification and installation, and process integration. Assist in evaluating manufacturing requirements to determine which processes should be procured externally vs. set up internally, based on cost, capacity, complexity, and strategic value. Assist in coordinating with suppliers and internal teams for tooling, equipment, and material sourcing. Develop work instructions, standard operating procedures (SOPs), and quality standards. Support or lead any required process control plan development, and process documentation.
