Dairy Processing / Operations Manager

Great career growth, highly visible & Getting promoted

You’ll wear many hats (not literally, though—I promise). Here’s what you’ll be up to:

People Whisperer: You’ll nurture and develop your team like a pro. Think of yourself as the Gandalf of staff training and development—minus the pointy hat.
Zero Loss Crusader: Your mission? Create a culture where losses vanish into thin air. Standardization and loss elimination are your trusty sidekicks.
Captain of Operations: You’ll steer the ship (or rather, the processing plant) through strategic projects and initiatives. KPIs? You’ll sprinkle those like confetti.
Inventory Guru: Daily inventory reviews? Check. Coordinating schedules? Double-check. You’ll dance with our dairy planner and scheduling manager to keep things smooth.
Project Sponsor Extraordinaire: Capital projects? Commercialization ventures? You’re the backstage magician making them happen.
Quality Guardian: Nonconforming products? Not on your watch. You’ll huddle with the Quality Assurance Manager to keep things squeaky clean.
Safety Patrol: GMPs, sanitation, and safety—your three musketeers. You’ll ensure compliance during shifts. No capes required.
Budget Whisperer: Budgets are your playground. You’ll build, manage, and stay within financial targets. Excel spreadsheets beware!
Team Juggler: Managing a 24/7 crew? Piece of cake. You’ll be the conductor of this operational orchestra.

What you need to bring to this winning team:

4 years of aseptic (UHT, HTST) or ESL manufacturing experience (because you’ve got this dairy thing down pat).
A Bachelor’s Degree (preferred, but we won’t judge if you’re a self-taught cheese enthusiast).
Familiarity with food regulations (FDA, USDA, and alphabet soup agencies).
A continuous improvement mindset—think Sherlock Holmes meets Six Sigma.
Superb communication skills (verbal, written, interpretive dance—whatever floats your boat).
Organizational wizardry (bonus points if you can levitate sticky notes).

And there you have it! Apply now, and let’s create dairy magic together! 🐄✨
