Requirements at a Glance

  • Prior leadership experience running an ethanol production plant

The Opportunity

A 110-million-gallon-per-year ethanol production facility is hiring a Plant Manager to lead daily operations for a ~50-person team through four direct reports (Production, Maintenance, Grain/Rail, Lab Managers).

Compensation: $200,000 base, 20–30% annual target bonus (total cash $240K–$260K+), full relocation package, full benefits (health, retirement, PTO).

Responsibilities

  • Manage daily plant operations to meet production and quality targets
  • Monitor equipment/process performance to improve efficiency, reduce downtime, optimize yield
  • Lead plant safety culture and ensure environmental/regulatory compliance
  • Coach and develop plant supervisors and shift leads
  • Set performance expectations; conduct evaluations
  • Partner with Maintenance leadership on preventive/corrective maintenance planning
  • Serve as the operational link between corporate leadership and plant staff
  • Manage plant budget (staffing, overtime, supplies, maintenance)
  • Own carbon intensity (CI) scoring and pathway management, coordinating with the commercial team

Qualifications

Required

  • Prior ethanol production plant leadership experience
  • 10+ years industrial/plant operations experience with supervisory responsibility
  • Strong analytical, troubleshooting, and decision-making skills
  • Valid driver's license; ability to travel occasionally

    Preferred

  • ICM plant technology experience
  • Carbon intensity (CI) scoring / pathway management familiarity
  • Bachelor's degree in Engineering, Operations, Business, Agriculture, or related field
  • Background in chemical processing, grain handling, milling, or biodiesel (secondary to ethanol experience, not a substitute for it)
