Lead a site where safety comes first, every day and without exception. As Site Leader in Moreau, New York, you own the safe, compliant, and efficient operation of the entire facility, and you set the tone that keeps every associate, contractor, and neighbor protected. You will be visible on the floor, build a culture where people speak up and look out for one another, and hold the line on Process Safety Management, environmental stewardship, and regulatory compliance. 

 
From that foundation, you run the business of the plant. You direct production and the operations workforce, drive reliability and maintenance performance, manage budgets and inventories, and deliver quality product to customers on time. You recruit, develop, and engage the team, coordinate with functions across the organization, and represent the site with the community and regulatory agencies. 

This is a role for a leader who wants ownership. You will champion continuous improvement projects that reduce cost and variability, invest capital where it lowers risk and raises capability, and leave the site stronger, safer, and more competitive than you found it.

Capital, Facilities, and Process Improvement 

• Manage site capital planning and spending to reduce business and EH&S risk and to improve cost and profitability.
