Role overview
Do you thrive in roles that balance independence with teamwork? Utz Quality Foods is continuing to grow, and we’re looking for a Distribution Clerk/Guard Shack to join our logistics and distribution team on the Week Day Shift at our Hanover, PA facility.
This full-time position runs Monday though Friday, 9:00 AM to 5:30 PM, supporting around-the-clock operations that keep our products moving efficiently. You’ll split your time between the guard shack and the distribution office, helping to manage gate activity, verify documentation, and maintain smooth coordination between drivers and warehouse staff.
You’ll work closely with another clerk in a two-person team, where dependability, communication, and attention to detail are key. The ideal candidate is organized, adaptable, and enjoys contributing to a structured yet fast-moving environment.
At Utz, we’re known for quality snacks — but our success starts with people who keep operations running behind the scenes. If you’re looking for a stable, hands-on role with room to grow, we’d love to have you on our team!
