Assistant Controller - Plant Operational Excellence (Relocation: Southern California)

Assistant Controller – Rancho Cucamonga, CA | Full Relocation Package Offered

Relocate to Southern California's Inland Empire — Sunshine, Space, and Career Growth

Trade cramped city living for wide-open Southern California skies, with the mountains for weekend hiking, wine country minutes away, and downtown Los Angeles still well within reach when you want the big-city energy. This corner of the Inland Empire offers a rare combination for SoCal: more house for your money, a lower cost of living than the coast, and a genuine community feel, all without giving up beaches, world-class dining, or major-league sports. It's Southern California living without the Southern California price tag.

The company provides full relocation assistance, with candidates able to begin the role remotely for 30-60 days while relocation logistics are finalized.
