💡 A Word from JOBPLOY
BIFIDO is a professional bio-health functional food company with a production base in Hongcheon, Gangwon-do, and you will work in a manufacturing environment where strict hygiene rules and GMP standards are applied. Wearing dust-proof clothing and hygiene equipment is mandatory in the fermentation and manufacturing processes, and you must accurately understand the safety and quality management guidelines for each production line. As the workplace is located in an industrial complex, it is recommended to check the commuting route or dormitory support in advance. Since there is a lot of team-based process work, having basic Korean communication skills related to work will be very advantageous for adapting to the site.
