Description
rito-Lay has been making the very best snacks for over 80 years. Manufacturing Team Leads are vital to Frito Lay s success.

A Manufacturing Team Lead is responsible for providing leadership and support to the packaging department, while ensuring packaging performance standards are achieved.

Although you will start out working for Frito-Lay, this job can open the door to many career opportunities including our parent company, PepsiCo.


As a Full-Time team member, you would work between 40 and 50 hours per week and overtime may be required.

We operate 24 hours a day, so you will not have a typical schedule. We set industry standards in terms of pay and benefits.

We also offer unbeatable benefits including health insurance, dental and vision, retirement savings benefits including 401(k) with company contribution, vacation days and much more.


As a Manufacturing Team Lead you can expect to be working on your feet the entirety of your shift near heavy machinery in a loud manufacturing environment.

Frito-Lay manufacturing facilities are large. While we want everyone to feel comfortable, our ability to control the temperature is limited. Indoor working conditions are impacted by seasons and the weather.

After training (a process that can last 8 to 16 weeks), here is a list of the more frequent tasks you could expect to perform:

  • Facilitate PKG venues (pre-shifts, walls, powerwalks, and shift wraps) as the Team s Leader
  • Improve Packaging Performance by leveraging online company tools (ePRM, MES, MOAT, etc.)
  • Support Startups, Changeovers, and Shutdowns of production equipment
  • Participate in daily running venues to develop Packaging Machine Operators
  • Ensure the department is achieving all performance metrics (attainment, waste, etc.)
  • Responsible for the safety of self and all operators within the packaging department
  • Monitor performance of Packaging Machine Operators to include line eff, film waste, etc.)
  • Execute action plans delivered to you by performance & operations managers to elevate the business
  • All other duties as assigned


Frito-Lay has more than 30 highly advanced manufacturing plants across the country, where we convert things like corn and potatoes into delicious snacks for our consumers.

Manufacturing Team Leads work closely to the manufacturing process, which means you should consider potential allergens we work with:
dairy, wheat, soy, garlic, salt, and particular oils (e.g. sunflower). You should also keep in mind that we make popular spicy snacks, like Flamin' Hot Cheetos. Manufacturing Team Leads will be required to follow all Good Manufacturing Processes (GMP s) and safety guidelines.

Please take a moment to ensure that you meet the minimum requirements for this position:

  • You are at least 18 years of age or older
  • You will be required to work on some weekends, holidays, as well as offshift
  • It's a physical job: you are able to lift 50 lbs. from floor to waist (with or without a reasonable accommodation
  • You are technologically proficient when operating a laptop and webbased services
  • You have basic math skills and can read and write in English
  • You are able to stand and walk for extended periods of time with or without a reasonable accommodation
  • You are able to climb, bend, reach, stoop, kneel, and stretch for extended periods with or without a reasonable accommodation
  • You are able to repeatedly lift, carry, push, pull, and handle products with or without a reasonable accommodation
  • You are willing and able to work at heights using ladders or lifts to access areas of the plant
People often ask what kind of characteristics will make them successful in this position.

Do you think you have what it takes to perform at our level? Here is an idea of what our managers are looking for:


  • Good Communicator: you will be interacting with various coworkers, from junior employees to leadership.
  • Problem Solving: our business depends on us keeping packaging machines operating. You tackle commonplace mechanical issues with machinery and quickly come up with a "plan B" when needed, such as during a changeover or starting a new line.
  • Efficient: you prioritize tasks while multitasking. For example, you might be changing film on one line as a second line breaks down; meanwhile, a packer is shutting off a line which will require your attention; it is at this point when a manager approaches you and asks how things are going.
  • Leadership: we trust you to help make sure that everything is going smoothly. You will coach packers and processing operators by providing courteous support and feedback.
  • Tech Savvy: Frito-Lay is an industry leader when it comes to smart automated technology and tracking production and inventory. Having a comfort level learning new technology will help you thrive in our performance based culture.
  • High Integrity: mistakes can lead to food safety and regulatory issues which is why all Frito-Lay employees are forthcoming and transparent about mistakes.
