Line Lead

Our Mission and Purpose Our mission is clear: to be North America’s premier packaging solutions provider, simplifying client operations with innovative, technology-driven solutions. We are fueled by the values instilled by Nick Novy, aiming to not just meet but exceed industry benchmarks. Our purpose is to empower our customers with smarter business decisions through our expertise. Korpack’s Promise: FAST and Beyond Korpack stands for more than just speed. Our F.A.S.T methodology – Fearless, Adaptable, Simplistic, and Technology-driven – is a testament to our approach toward complex challenges. We’re not afraid to dive deep and tackle the toughest packaging puzzles with agility and clarity, all while harnessing the power of technology. Culture: The Korpack Difference In the heart of Korpack, there’s a culture that thrives on agility, innovation, and relentless pursuit of excellence. We’re not your typical packaging company. Our start-up spirit combined with our industry experience makes us uniquely dynamic. We embrace challenges, turning them into opportunities to innovate and grow. Our team, akin to a close-knit family, is dedicated to achieving success for our clients. We believe in building relationships based on trust, integrity, and mutual respect. About Korpack Korpack is a growing, privately held packaging solutions company in the western Chicago suburbs, providing contract packaging, packaging materials, and automation to leading consumer brands. We run food-grade (SQF) production across two facilities and are investing heavily in people, systems, and a new 350,000 sq ft expansion. Two things define how we work: efficiency — lines that run to standard, every shift — and accuracy — work orders, inventory, and shipments that are right the first time in our ERP (Acumatica). Position Summary Line Leads own one line and make it perform. Your job is the efficiency and quality of your line against the work order: right product, right rate, right the first time. You lead by doing — this is a working leadership role on the floor, deliberately free of system/ERP administration so your full attention is on the line and the people running it. Key Accountabilities Line efficiency vs. run rates — your line hits its numbers, and you know why when it doesn't. Product quality and work-order conformity — output matches the WO instructions, every time. Line readiness — materials staged, changeovers executed, operators positioned before the line needs them. Immediate escalation — deviations, shortages, and quality issues go up the moment you see them. (No ERP responsibility — that belongs to Production Control.) Day-to-day Responsibilities Set up and run your line to the daily plan; direct operators and temp associates on the line Verify work order instructions, components, and labeling before and during runs Track hourly output vs. run-rate standard; adjust and escalate to keep pace Perform and enforce quality checks; stop the line for conformity issues Coach new operators on line standards and safe operation What You Bring 1–2+ years in production/packaging with informal or formal lead experience A quality eye — you notice when something is off before it becomes a problem Clear, calm communication with a crew of mixed experience levels Bilingual English/Spanish a plus
