Job description:

Plant Manager | Polymer Extrusion Facility

We are seeking a technically savvy Plant Manager to lead our polymer extrusion operations. If you’re the kind of leader who knows that a plant runs on both high-performance machinery and high-performing people, we want to talk to you.

As the Plant Manager, you won't just be overseeing a floor; you’ll be the architect of our production efficiency, the guardian of our safety culture, and the driver of continuous improvement.

The Role: What You’ll Do

• Drive Production Excellence: Manage the daily operations of multiple extrusion lines to meet (and exceed) production targets while maintaining strict quality standards.
• Optimize Technical Processes: Oversee material blending, die setups, and cooling parameters. You should be comfortable "talking shop" regarding polymer rheology and mechanical troubleshooting.
• Lead & Mentor: Foster a culture of accountability and professional growth across production supervisors, maintenance tech, and operators.
• Budget & P&L Ownership: Manage the plant’s bottom line, including labor costs, raw material waste (scrap reduction), and CAPEX projects.
• Safety First: Ensure 100% compliance with OSHA standards and internal safety protocols. No product is worth a person’s well-being.
• Continuous Improvement: Implement Lean Manufacturing or Six Sigma methodologies to reduce downtime and optimize changeover speeds.

What You Bring to the Table

• Experience: 7+ years in a manufacturing leadership role, specifically within polymer extrusion (profile, sheet, film, or tubing).
• Technical Knowledge: A deep understanding of single/twin-screw extruders, downstream equipment, and resin behavior (PE, PP, PVC, etc.).
• Problem-Solving Skills: You don't just see a bottleneck; you find the root cause and fix it permanently.
• Education: Bachelor’s degree in Engineering (Mechanical, Chemical, or Plastics) or a related technical field is preferred.
• Communication: The ability to explain complex technical issues to stakeholders and motivate a diverse workforce on the floor.

We are seeking individuals to review and provide feedback on everyday money-management tips. This role focuses on common financial challenges such as managing expenses, reducing spending, and making smarter financial choices.

You will review examples of budgeting methods and evaluate practical ideas people use to stretch their income. The goal is to understand which approaches work best for real households.

The work is flexible and fully online. Applicants should have an interest in budgeting, saving money, or improving financial habits.

No formal finance background is required.
