Mel-O-Cream Donuts Production Supervisor

Mel-O-Cream Donuts is an institution in Springfield, having been in business since 1932.

Like so many businesses, we have been challenged to find the right people to staff our facility.

What do we do? We make donuts. This involves mixing dough, processing, cutting, shaping, and forming donuts. Some products are filled, glazed, or iced. This is done in a 30,000 square foot manufacturing area. While working in our production department, can seem hectic, there are those out there who thrive on being on their feet and working in a fast-paced environment, then this opportunity may be for you.

We are also asking candidates to complete a cultural index as part of the process. This should take you no more than 10 minutes and will be provided to you, if you wish, at your in-person interview.

Rate: $52,000-$64,480+ a year Compensation is commensurate to experience.

This role is non-exempt and overtime-eligible under the Fair Labor Standards Act and Illinois law. Due to production demands, overtime opportunities are frequent, though weekly hours may fluctuate.
