  • Reinforce expectations around attendance, conduct, and productivity
  • Help build a strong, consistent leadership culture across the shift
Maintain Safety & Quality Standards
  • Enforce food safety practices, GMPs, and PPE requirements
  • Ensure all processes meet internal quality and audit standards
  • Partner with QA to verify product quality and proper line startup/shutdown
Own the Shift Execution
  • Complete shift reporting and communicate key updates to leadership
  • Identify issues quickly and take action to resolve or escalate
  • Maintain a clean, organized, and audit-ready production floor
What We're Looking For
  • 2-5 years of leadership experience in manufacturing (food production preferred)
  • Experience supervising teams or leading a department/shift
  • Strong problem-solving and decision-making skills in a fast-paced environment

  • Ability to lead by example and hold teams accountable
  • Comfortable being hands-on and present on the production floor
Preferred:
  • Experience in food manufacturing or high-speed production environments
  • Bilingual (English/Spanish) a plus
Why Join Us
  • Growing food manufacturing company with strong leadership support
  • Opportunity to step into a multi-department leadership role
  • Clear path for growth as we expand operations
  • Collaborative, team-focused culture
Work Environment
  • Manufacturing setting (kitchen and packaging areas)
  • Requires standing, walking, and occasional lifting (up to 50 lbs)
  • Forklift certification preferred or willingness to obtain
