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.

  • Champion a zero-incident mindset: enforce OSHA and company policies, conduct safety talks and audits, and investigate incidents.
  • 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.
  • Clear written and verbal communication; confident interfacing at all organizational levels.
  • Strength in problem solving, prioritization, and time management within a fast-paced setting.
  • 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.
Preferred
  • Internship/co-op or academic project experience in manufacturing, operations, or supply chain.
  • Background in Lean, Six Sigma, or other CI methods.
  • Familiarity with food/beverage production, packaging, or quality control standards.
  • Knowledge of OSHA, FDA, and TTB requirements.
  • Demonstrated leadership potential and interest in supervising teams.
Physical and work environment
  • Lift up to 50 lbs without assistance.
  • Work an 8-hour shift with overtime as needed.
  • Comfort operating in loud, wet, humid conditions around moving mechanical parts.
  • High attention to detail and quality.
