Job description

General Laborer – Freezer Clean-Up

$21.15/hour | No Experience Required | Excellent Benefits After 60 Days

Do you like staying busy, working independently, and being the person others can count on to get things done?

Mayfield Ice Cream is looking for a dependable, self-motivated General Laborer – Freezer Clean-Up to help keep our freezer warehouse and surrounding areas clean, organized, and safe.

This is a hands-on job that is a great fit for someone who likes a routine, takes pride in their work, and doesn't need someone looking over their shoulder to stay productive.

No previous warehouse or sanitation experience is required. We can teach you the job. What matters most is that you show up, work safely, take ownership of your responsibilities, and look for ways to help when your regular work is complete.

Pay & Benefits

Starting pay: $21.15 per hour

Eligible employees receive an excellent benefits package after 60 days of employment , including:

Medical insurance

Dental insurance

Vision insurance

401(k) retirement plan

Company 401(k) match

Additional monthly company retirement contribution, independent of the company match

That means the company contributes toward your retirement in two ways : through the 401(k) match and through a separate monthly company contribution (regardless if you contribute).

What You'll Do

Your primary responsibility will be maintaining the cleanliness, sanitation, organization, and safety of our freezer warehouse and surrounding areas. Much of the work follows a regular routine and includes:

Sweeping and mopping warehouse and work areas

Cleaning employee breakrooms, restrooms, and common areas

Removing cardboard, shrink wrap, packaging materials, trash, and other debris

Taking cardboard to the baler and waste to designated dumpsters or containers

Keeping warehouse aisles, dock doors, loading areas, and other high-traffic areas clean and clear

Cleaning exterior areas, including portions of the parking lot and areas surrounding the warehouse

Breaking down boxes and other materials

Completing general housekeeping and sanitation tasks

Moving, stacking, loading, or unloading materials, cases, crates, pallets, or supplies as needed

Delivering supplies or materials to designated work areas

Assisting freezer warehouse employees and leadership with other tasks as needed

Reporting unsafe conditions, equipment concerns, quality issues, or other irregularities

Completing required paperwork accurately and legibly

A Job for Someone Who Sees What Needs to Be Done

This position works somewhat independently. You will have regular cleaning and housekeeping responsibilities, but a supervisor will not be directing your every move throughout the day. Successful employees in this role stay productive without constant supervision. That means:

Following your regular cleaning and housekeeping routine without repeated reminders

Managing your time and completing assigned responsibilities

Noticing when something needs attention and taking appropriate action

Checking with teammates or leadership for additional work when your regular tasks are complete

Being willing to pitch in and help wherever needed

Taking the same pride in your work whether someone is watching or not

If you're someone who naturally looks around and asks, “What needs to be done next?” , you'll probably fit this job very well.

Yes, You'll Work in a Freezer

We want applicants to know this before they apply.

Our freezer warehouse includes areas ranging from approximately 28°F to as low as -40°F .

You will not normally remain in the coldest areas for long periods of time , but you must be willing and able to enter and work in freezer conditions as part of your regular responsibilities.

Required cold-weather PPE are provided by the company and may include:

Insulated, temperature-resistant coveralls

Safety-toed, slip-resistant footwear

Insulated gloves

Balaclava or other face/head protection

Other required safety equipment

You'll bundle up, complete the work that needs to be done, and then move in and out of freezer areas as your assignments require.
