Lead the Line. Elevate the Standard.
You’re the kind of production leader who can scan a plant floor and instantly see what needs to happen next. Reporting to the Plant Manager, you’ll run day-to-day operations with minimal oversight, making timely decisions, organizing people and schedules, and communicating clearly in a multilingual environment.
A day in this role
Your shift begins with a quick huddle: you align the schedule, assign people to lines, and confirm material availability. As production gets underway, you track throughput, watch quality metrics, and keep every process on-time. When a machine hints at trouble, you coordinate maintenance to prevent downtime. You spot training needs and coach team members. You walk the floor to audit GMPs, document your findings, and reinforce personal hygiene and HACCP expectations. Throughout the day, you look for efficiency gains, keep safety front and center, and ensure every order meets customer specs and fulfillment goals.
