Are you looking to build a career in manufacturing leadership? We’re seeking motivated individuals who want hands-on training and the opportunity to grow into a management role—prior supervisor/team lead experience preferred. This is the perfect role for someone who has strong production or industrial work experience and is ready to take the next step toward leadership.

  • Operate machinery such as forklifts, mixing tanks, boilers, and reactors (training provided).

  • Follow food safety and hygiene practices consistently.

  • Meet physical requirements, including lifting up to 50 lbs, and climbing stairs to the mezzanine.

What We’re Looking For:

  • Previous hands-on production, food manufacturing, or industrial experience.

  • Strong attention to detail and willingness to learn new processes.

  • Ability to work in a team and take direction, also able to work independently and step in where needed.

  • Interest in developing into a future management/leadership role.

  • Reliable, safety-conscious, and motivated to grow.

  • This role is a structured trainee program designed for those who want to earn while they learn their way into leadership.

Why Join Us?

  • $20/hr starting pay with full-time hours.

  • Hands-on training in all areas of production and manufacturing.

  • Clear pathway to advance into a Production Manager role.

  • Work in a team-focused environment where safety and quality come first.

If you’re ready to put in the work, learn the business, and grow into a future leader, we’d love to hear from you.
