Job description

Operations Manager

This is a well-established, family-owned specialty chemical manufacturer located in the Greater Birmingham area; they've been around for 60+ years and have been steadily growing over the past several years. The incumbent was just promoted into an operations manager role and so this is a backfill of his position. 3 direct reports and reports to the Director of Operations.

Key Requirements:

  • Bachelor's degree in Chemical Engineering required.
  • Approximately 6 to 10 years of experience in chemical manufacturing, process engineering, production engineering, or a closely related industrial environment.
  • Background in batch or continuous chemical processing preferred; relevant pharmaceutical manufacturing experience may also be considered. Must have previous OSHA PSM experience.
  • Hands-on engineering mindset with the ability to stay close to the process, troubleshoot plant issues, and drive practical improvements.
  • Some leadership or supervisory experience, with readiness to manage a small technical team of approximately three direct reports.
  • Able to lead engineers while still contributing technically to process optimization, project execution, troubleshooting, and day-to-day manufacturing support.
  • Strong cross-functional communication skills with operations, maintenance, quality, controls/automation, and plant leadership.

About the Role:

This person will oversee a small engineering team within a PSM-regulated specialty chemical manufacturing site. This role would be ideal for a senior process engineer who is looking for that first opportunity to move into a supervisory role. Little to no travel associated with this role.
