About the Client

A large, well-established food and beverage manufacturer with a national footprint and a portfolio of nationally recognized consumer brands. Thousands of employees across more than a dozen U.S. production sites. This is one of their largest beverage facilities.

The Role

Own daily manufacturing operations for an extra-large beverage plant. You partner directly with the Senior Plant Director, lead the business unit leaders, and carry accountability for output, cost, safety, and quality.

This is a build-the-culture role as much as a run-the-plant role. The site runs a formal integrated work system and needs a leader who can drive accountability against it rather than simply administer around it.

Key Responsibilities

  • Lead short and medium term production strategy to optimize labor, materials, and workflow
  • Drive accountability and cultural change through a structured integrated work system
  • Monitor and improve plant performance across safety, quality, cost, delivery, engagement, and environmental metrics
  • Provide direction across production, packaging, processing, planning, and purchasing
  • Manage operational budgets, cost controls, and P&L
  • Partner with HR on hiring, performance, and employee relations in a union environment
  • Oversee capital project planning and execution
  • Ensure compliance with GMP, AIB, FDA, ISO, safety, and food quality standards

    Must Have

  • 10+ years of production management experience in high-speed food, beverage, or CPG manufacturing
  • Hands-on deployment of a structured continuous improvement methodology: IWS, Lean, or TPM. Actual implementation, not classroom exposure.
  • Consumer packaging experience
  • Demonstrated budget, cost management, and P&L ownership
  • Experience leading in a union environment
  • Able to support a 24/7 operation, including day or night shift coverage and occasional weekends

    Preferred

  • 2+ years of aseptic and extended shelf life (ESL) processing experience
  • Bachelor's degree in engineering, business, or food science

Client name disclosed on qualified submittal.
