How you’ll lead
  • Coach, direct, and develop a team of hourly associates for engagement, safety, and results.
  • Build an inclusive, recognition-rich culture through regular feedback and performance development.
  • Coordinate schedules, attendance, reviews, and corrective actions in partnership with HR and site leadership.

  • Ensure conformity to OSHA, FDA, TTB, and internal food safety programs; execute GMPs and sanitation requirements.
  • Collaborate with QA on root cause analysis and corrective actions to prevent recurrence; complete documentation accurately and on time.
  • Support audits, inspections, and customer or regulatory evaluations.
Systems and documentation
  • Use ERP and production software to capture metrics, manage workflow, and maintain logs and reports.
  • Leverage digital tools to visualize trends and guide decisions.
What you bring
  • Bachelor’s degree in Business, Supply Chain, Engineering, Food Science, or a related field.

  • Foundational exposure to manufacturing or production (coursework, internships, or related experience).
  • Commitment to safety, quality, and continuous improvement.
  • Proficiency with Microsoft Excel, Word, and PowerPoint; ERP or production software familiarity is a plus.
