Job description

Our team in Erie, PA is searching for a Plant Manager who can own analysis end to end and present findings with confidence. Take ownership, lean on your 6 years of ISO 9001, and earn $81,000 - $125,000 as part of a team that grows with you.

Key Responsibilities

• Run weekly numbers reviews that end with decisions, not more meetings
• Drive strategic planning and quarterly goal-setting across Valero Energy business units
• Negotiate vendor terms that look feedback-hungry on paper and hold up in practice
• Lead pricing analysis and recommend adjustments that protect margins
• Broker tradeoffs when sales, product, and finance want three different things in Erie
• Build relationships with key accounts to drive long-term value
• Design dashboards that track revenue, retention, and unit economics

What You'll Bring

• Knowledge of PA-specific regulations relevant to business work
• Sharp written and verbal communication, tested under scrutiny
• An eye for the scrappy-but-steady detail that separates fine from finished
• A portfolio that speaks louder than any line on your resume
• Comfort with a Valero Energy pace that rarely sits still
• Demonstrated ability to teach what you know to someone greener
• Solid Total Productive Maintenance grounding, plus Customer Service you can pick up on the fly

We started Valero Energy in an Erie garage because the business status quo deserved a fiercely-supportive reckoning. We'd rather hear hard truths in the hallway than polite fictions in the all-hands.

The package speaks for itself: $81,000 - $125,000, coaching, coverage, and the flexible full-time hours that make-it-better business pros expect.

Live and hiring this very moment for the Erie, PA team.
