Job description

A bit about us

We are partnering with a well-established global industrial manufacturing organization seeking an experienced Plant Superintendent for its Concord, New Hampshire operation.

This is a key plant leadership position reporting directly to the Plant Manager and responsible for overseeing the day-to-day manufacturing operation, production scheduling, workforce leadership, product quality, cost performance, and continuous improvement initiatives.

The ideal candidate is a hands‑on manufacturing leader who understands how to keep a plant operating safely and efficiently while balancing production demands, customer delivery expectations, quality, and workforce development. Experience within the pulp & paper industry, paper mills, roll services, or a closely related heavy industrial manufacturing environment would be particularly valuable.

Why join us?

This is an opportunity to step into a highly visible operational leadership role with a large, established global industrial organization. You'll have meaningful ownership over plant performance while working directly with plant leadership to improve production, quality, workforce capabilities, and operational efficiency.

For someone coming from pulp & paper, roll services, converting, paper manufacturing, or another demanding industrial manufacturing operation, this could be an excellent opportunity to bring your experience into a leadership position with significant influence over the day-to-day success of the facility.

That being said, this candidate does NOT need to come from Pulp & Paper, as our client loves to consider candidates outside the industry as it brings fresh, unique ideas to the organization!

• Lead and support continuous improvement initiatives, including LEAN, Root Cause Failure Analysis (RCFA), Reliability-Centered Maintenance (RCM), ISO, and related methodologies.
• Oversee assigned capital projects and plant improvement initiatives.
• Work closely with the Plant Manager to identify operational issues, establish priorities, and implement solutions.
• Collaborate with other company manufacturing facilities to improve plant efficiency and share operational best practices.
• Occasionally travel to customer sites and other company facilities as business needs require.

• Strong organizational skills and attention to detail.
• Excellent written, verbal, and interpersonal communication skills.
• Strong Microsoft Excel and Word capabilities.
• An undergraduate degree or equivalent combination of education and relevant experience.
