Operations Supervisor

Operations Supervisor

We get it—you're in the middle of a job search, and most companies are starting to sound the same. Here's the good news: we're different.

At 94 years old and counting, we've built our success on delivering exceptional service to our customers. But that success starts on the floor—with the people who make sure the right products get where they need to go, safely and on time. As a 100% employee-owned company, we thrive in a culture of cooperation and collaboration. Instead of a "not my job" mindset, we embrace a "how can I help?" approach. Because when the operation runs smoothly, we all win.
