Plant Manager

Plant Manager – Pork Processing (Harvest Facility)

We’re looking for a Plant Manager who knows how to run a tight, efficient operation, but more importantly, knows how to lead people, elevate standards, and create a facility that performs at a high level every single day.

This isn’t a maintenance role. This is a build, lead, and optimize role inside a core production facility.

What You’ll Do

You’ll take full ownership of a pork harvest facility, leading everything from:

• Daily production, throughput, and yield performance
• USDA compliance, food safety, and audit readiness
• Labor planning, staffing, and frontline leadership development
• Cost control, efficiency, and operational discipline
• Continuous improvement initiatives across the plant
• You’ll ensure the operation runs safely, efficiently, and consistently with no surprises.
• You’ll lead through supervisors and build a team that is accountable, stable, and high-performing.

Who You Are

• Proven leader within meat processing or harvest (pork preferred)
• Experienced managing in a USDA-inspected environment
• Strong operational mindset- focused on throughput, yield, labor efficiency, and execution
• Able to lead from the floor while developing leadership beneath you
• Decisive, accountable, and comfortable owning outcomes

You’re the type of leader who:

• Earns respect on the production floor
• Identifies issues early and acts quickly
• Balances people, performance, and process without overcomplicating things

Why This Role

• Ownership: You will run the plan, not just manage a function
• Impact: Direct influence on performance, culture, and results
• Opportunity: Established operation with room to improve, stabilize, and optimize
• Visibility: Key role within the organization with access to leadership
