Plant Manager – Henderson, TX
Lead the Flagship Operation That Sets the Standard.

Strong operations aren't maintained—they're built.

Clements Fluids is looking for a Plant Manager to lead our flagship Henderson facility with full operational accountability for our San Augustine satellite operation. This is one of the most influential operational leadership roles in our organization, responsible for driving performance, developing leaders, and setting the operational standard across our company.

You'll lead a team of more than a dozen while partnering with Sales, Supply Chain, Maintenance, and leaders across Clements to ensure the operation performs safely, efficiently, and consistently. You'll be trusted to make decisions, solve problems, improve systems, and deliver results.

Candidates must be located near Henderson, TX or willing to relocate.
