Plant Manager Lead People. Drive Excellence. Serve with Purpose.

Are you a proven manufacturing leader who believes great businesses are built on strong values, servant leadership, and accountability?

We are seeking an experienced Plant Manager to lead a growing food processing operation of mostly protein, focused on quality, excellence, and doing things the right way. This role offers the opportunity to oversee an entire facility while building a culture where people are valued, developed, and empowered to succeed.

Our organization is deeply rooted in faith-based principles. We believe in treating people with dignity and respect, leading with integrity, serving others, and honoring our commitments. We're looking for a leader who shares those values and can inspire a team to achieve exceptional results while maintaining a positive and purpose-driven workplace culture.

What You'll Do

As Plant Manager, you'll have full responsibility for the performance of the facility, including:

  • Leading all plant operations including production, packaging, shipping, sanitation, and inventory management
  • Building and developing a high-performing team focused on accountability, safety, and continuous improvement
  • Driving operational excellence, efficiency, and profitability
  • Leading food safety, employee safety, and regulatory compliance initiatives
  • Managing plant budgets, labor performance, yields, inventory accuracy, and cost controls
  • Identifying opportunities to improve productivity, processes, and overall plant performance
  • Coaching and developing supervisors and department leaders
  • Partnering with executive leadership to support company growth and strategic initiatives
  • Overseeing facility improvements, equipment investments, and capital projects

What Success Looks Like

  • A highly engaged and accountable workforce
  • Strong safety and food safety performance
  • Consistent achievement of production, quality, labor, and cost goals
  • Continuous improvement in operational performance and customer satisfaction
  • A culture built on teamwork, trust, respect, and servant leadership

What We're Looking For

  • 7 years of leadership experience in food manufacturing, meat processing, or protein production
  • Strong knowledge of beef and pork fabrication, processing, and manufacturing operations
  • Proven ability to lead large teams and improve operational performance
  • Strong financial and business acumen
  • Experience driving continuous improvement initiatives
  • Excellent communication, coaching, and leadership skills
  • A hands-on leader who enjoys being engaged with employees at every level of the organization

Why This Opportunity Stands Out

This is more than a plant leadership position.

It's an opportunity to join an organization where faith, integrity, and people matter. You'll have the autonomy to lead, the support of an experienced leadership team, and the opportunity to make a lasting impact on both the business and the lives of the people you lead.

If you're looking for a role where your leadership can drive results while serving a larger purpose, we'd love to hear from you.
