A well-established and growing manufacturer in the Grand Forks area is seeking a Plant Manager to lead a large-scale production facility through its next phase of growth and operational excellence. This is a rare opportunity to make a significant impact on an organization while advancing your career with a company that values leadership, continuous improvement, and employee development.

We're looking for a hands-on leader who isn't afraid to challenge the status quo, build strong relationships across the organization, and create a culture of accountability, engagement, and performance.

Why This Opportunity Stands Out

• Executive-level visibility and influence

• Opportunity to lead meaningful operational transformation

• Strong compensation package with bonus potential

• Established facility with significant growth opportunities

• Ability to shape culture, processes, and long-term strategy

• Stable organization committed to investing in its people and operations

What You'll Do

• Provide strategic and day-to-day leadership for all plant operations

• Drive safety, quality, productivity, cost control, and customer satisfaction initiatives

• Lead operational turnaround and continuous improvement efforts

• Develop and execute plant strategies that improve performance and profitability

• Build, mentor, and develop leaders throughout the organization

• Establish a culture of accountability, engagement, and operational excellence

• Utilize operational metrics and data to improve efficiency, reliability, and throughput

• Partner with cross-functional teams to ensure alignment across the business

• Manage operational budgets, capital projects, and resource planning

• Champion Lean Manufacturing and continuous improvement initiatives

What We're Looking For

• Proven experience leading manufacturing operations in a Plant Manager, Operations Manager, Director of Operations, or similar leadership role

• Demonstrated success driving plant improvement, operational turnarounds, or significant performance gains

• Strong leadership presence with the ability to motivate and develop teams

• Experience managing through change and creating a culture of accountability

• Background in manufacturing, processing, packaging, industrial production, or related industries

• Lean Manufacturing, Continuous Improvement, Six Sigma, or operational excellence experience preferred

• Strong business acumen with experience managing budgets and operational performance metrics

• Bachelor's degree in Engineering, Operations, Manufacturing, Business, or related field preferred

Ideal Candidate

This role is designed for a high-energy, results-oriented leader who sees opportunity where others see challenges. The ideal candidate has a track record of improving operations, developing people, and delivering measurable results. They are a builder, a coach, and a strategic thinker who can lead from the front while inspiring others to achieve more.

If you're looking for an opportunity where your leadership can truly make a difference—and where success can open doors to future growth—this is the role for you.
