Job Description

Are you an operational leader in the food manufacturing space looking for an opportunity to shape the future of a plant rather than just maintain the status quo?


We are seeking a high-energy, results-driven Operations Manager to lead daily plant operations for a rapidly growing, highly stable food manufacturer in Evansville, IN . Operating out of a state-of-the-art facility that is only about a year old , this role offers a rare chance to get hands-on with operations, build and mentor your leadership team, implement continuous improvement, and make a lasting impact on a 1,000+ employee site.


The company has built a national reputation for stability, is completely recession-resistant, and actively invests in its workforce and facility upgrades.


Key Responsibilities

  • Plant Leadership: Direct daily plant operations across all three shifts to achieve safety, quality, delivery, and cost performance goals.
  • Team Development: Directly oversee production teams, mentor and develop front-line supervisors, and optimize labor and staffing strategy.
  • Continuous Improvement: Monitor KPIs and drive lean/continuous improvement initiatives to increase efficiency and throughput.
  • Cross-Functional Collaboration: Partner closely with Maintenance, Quality Assurance, Warehouse/Logistics, and senior leadership to keep peak operational efficiency.
Qualifications
  • 5+ years of operational leadership experience within Food & Beverage Manufacturing (High-volume/multi-shift experience strongly preferred).
  • Strong track record of team development, employee retention, and building a strong safety/quality culture.
  • Proven ability to execute continuous improvement/Lean manufacturing initiatives and manage operational KPIs.
  • Excellent cross-functional communication and crisis-management skills.
Perks & Culture
  • Career Growth: High visibility with clear advancement pathways as the organization continues its rapid expansion.
  • Workplace Culture: Collaborative, team-oriented, and rewarding-including employee appreciation perks like free team lunch every Monday!
  • Competitive Package: Excellent compensation, comprehensive health benefits, and retirement package.
