Job description

Responsibilities

Mission Linen Supply has immediate opportunities for our Production Manager Trainee in state‑of‑the‑art operating plants in California and Arizona. This program is designed to place high‑potential new managers on a track for career opportunities in production and general management at Mission Linen Supply.

RELOCATION REQUIRED: All candidates must be willing to relocate during or after training to manage their own team within the first 3 years of the career to qualify for the program.

Management Trainee base salary is $70,000 – depending on experience. The starting salary is based on education, experience, other qualifications, and location of assignment.

Qualifications

This is a fast‑track, nine‑month program in which you are trained by the highest ranking operations managers in the company to lead your own production facility. In less than one year, you will learn what most of our production and service staff learn in five. After successful completion of the program, you move into a Production Manager position at one of our 25 facilities, and ultimately, grow into the General and District Manager role if desired. This is not a typical entry‑level position – we want managers who are ready to learn our industry, understand our customer‑base, and lead/motivate a successful team.

Production management experience gained during this program provides a strong foundation for understanding our business and assuming a leadership role in our Company. We will pair you closely with experienced operations managers and plant teams to learn all aspects of production management.

Specific areas include:

• Production workflow utilizing Lean Six Sigma techniques
• Boilers and hydraulics
• Plant equipment
• Production scoring methods
• Inventory control
• Quality control initiatives
• Cost control

All along the way you’ll have the support of senior management, complete progress reports from the learning and development department, and participate in company-sponsored management development workshops. Upon successful completion, you’ll be qualified for promotion to a management position at a Mission facility. You’ll be part of a management career track which includes opportunities for growth in key management positions throughout the Company.

Qualified candidates will have the education and experience that demonstrate intelligence, commitment, and a willingness to learn – all necessary to succeed at Mission. Industry experience is not required, as we look for dynamic individuals with leadership potential, and a strong business and customer orientation.

• Four‑year college degree highly desired
• Military experience is welcomed
• The ability to relocate after completion of the program is important for career growth

Benefits

Full‑time employment with full benefits including health insurance (medical, dental, vision), a retirement savings program, paid time off (sick, holiday, vacation) and more.
