• Bonus potential plus comprehensive benefits including 401(k) match
• Collaborative culture focused on ownership, growth, and continuous improvement
Key Responsibilities for the Plant Controller:
• Manage plant budgets including labor, materials, and operational costs
• Analyze manufacturing variances and recommend corrective actions
• Lead month-end close and report financial results to leadership
