Salary Details:
This role is for an early career professional or someone with a couple of years of experience
Preferred Education:
4 Year Degree
This role offers early career professionals the chance to take ownership of real products, real timelines, and real business impact. You will not sit on the sidelines. You will work directly in a manufacturing environment where your decisions influence what gets produced, how it performs, and how quickly it reaches customers.
The Impact You’ll Make
You will drive the execution of multiple product initiatives across fresh pork portfolios. Your work ensures products meet technical standards, launch on time, and perform as expected in a live production environment. You will become a trusted partner to Operations, QA, and Commercial teams by delivering accurate, timely, and practical solutions.
What You’ll Do
- Manage 10–15 active projects across product development and commercialization
- Own Bill of Materials (BOM) accuracy, timing, and execution, product specifcations
- Support plant trials, validations, and production implementation
- Partner with Operations, QA, and cross-functional teams to solve problems quickly
- Translate product requirements into clear specifications and production-ready outputs
- Prioritize competing demands in a fast-moving environment
- Provide technical support for customer and internal needs
- High ownership early in your career
- Direct exposure to plant operations and real-time decision making
- Fast-paced environment with constant variety and challenge
- Opportunity to influence product outcomes at scale
- Independence to manage your work while being supported by experienced mentors
- Thrive in a fast-paced environment and can manage multiple projects and shift priorities at once
- Are detail-oriented and execution-focused, ensuring accuracy and getting things right the first time
- Enjoy working independently while solving problems, applying practical thinking in real-world manufacturing settings.
- Prefer a slow-paced, highly structured environment with predictable workflows
- Want a traditional lab or bench-based R&D role instead of plant-based execution
- Struggle with ambiguity, multitasking, or making decisions without perfect information
This role builds a strong foundation in product development, commercialization, and plant operations. You will gain experience that prepares you for advanced roles in R&D, technical leadership, or broader commercial and operational functions within the business.
