This is an exceptional career home for a people-focused leader who prioritizes long-term stability and a total compensation package that is virtually unmatched in the region. Our client is a privately held, vertically integrated manufacturer that has operated continuously for decades. They recently completed a $100M facility upgrade at this location and have already announced further expansions, signaling a robust future for their Wisconsin operations.

This specific opening in the Slitting Department is a high-impact leadership role where your ability to build a cohesive, high-performing team is just as important as your operational knowledge. The benefits are truly elite: a fully company-funded pension, up to 7 weeks of vacation, and access to private medical clinics for employees and their families. While the rotating 12-hour schedule requires full commitment, it provides a predictable structure with a built-in block of six consecutive days off every three weeks, allowing for significant personal time.
