Plant Manager

Plastic Executive Recruiters

Plant Manager | Polymer Extrusion Facility We are seeking a technically skilled Plant Manager to lead our polymer extrusion operations. If you’re the kind of leader who knows that a plant runs on both high-performance machinery and high-performing people, we want to talk to you. As the Plant Manager, you won’t just be overseeing a floor; you’ll be the architect of our production efficiency, the guardian of our safety culture, and the driver of continuous improvement. The Role: What You’ll Do Drive Production Excellence: Manage the daily operations of multiple extrusion lines to meet (and exceed) production targets while maintaining strict quality standards. Optimize Technical Processes: Oversee material blending, die setups, and cooling parameters. You should be comfortable "talking shop" regarding polymer rheology and mechanical troubleshooting. Lead & Mentor: Foster a culture of accountability and professional growth across production supervisors, maintenance tech, and operators. Budget & P&L Ownership: Manage the plant’s bottom line, including labor costs, raw material waste (scrap reduction), and CAPEX projects. Safety First: Ensure 100% compliance with OSHA standards and internal safety protocols. No product is worth a person’s well-being. Continuous Improvement: Implement Lean Manufacturing or Six Sigma methodologies to reduce downtime and optimize changeover speeds. What You Bring to the Table Experience: 7+ years in a manufacturing leadership role, specifically within polymer extrusion (profile, sheet, film, or tubing). Technical Knowledge: A deep understanding of single/twin-screw extruders, downstream equipment, and resin behavior (PE, PP, PVC, etc.). Problem-Solving Skills: You don’t just see a bottleneck; you find the root cause and fix it permanently. Education: Bachelor’s degree in Engineering (Mechanical, Chemical, or Plastics) or a related technical field is preferred. Communication: The ability to explain complex technical issues to stakeholders and motivate a diverse workforce on the floor. Regional Search *** Role requires relocation to MTN West #J-18808-Ljbffr
