The facility is also undergoing a major modernization and expansion designed to strengthen safety, food safety, product flow, and bacon production capabilities.

• Maintain a strong presence on the production floor, lead daily operating discussions, and respond to changing staffing, equipment, scheduling, and production needs.
• Partner with Quality, Food Safety, Maintenance, Continuous Improvement, Supply Chain, Human Resources, and other teams to improve overall performance.
• Identify root causes and drive sustainable improvements in throughput, labor utilization, yield, reliability, quality, and operational efficiency.
• Support the introduction of new equipment, processes, technologies, and products as the operation continues to grow.

What We’re Looking For

• 8+ years of progressive leadership experience in manufacturing, production, operations, or a similarly complex environment.
• Experience leading large teams through front-line supervisors within a high-volume manufacturing operation.
• A demonstrated ability to develop leaders, strengthen accountability, and build engaged, high-performing teams.
• A track record of solving operational problems and delivering measurable improvements across safety, quality, service, labor, yield, productivity, and cost.
• The ability to prioritize, anticipate challenges, and make sound decisions in a fast-paced environment.
• Bachelor’s degree preferred; equivalent manufacturing leadership experience will be considered.
• Food manufacturing experience preferred, with meat, protein, bacon, further processing, or USDA-regulated experience strongly preferred.

Accomplished leaders from other complex, high-volume manufacturing industries are also encouraged to apply.
