Plant Manager – Build Something From the Ground Up

North Central West Virginia (near Morgantown)

**Not Currently Offering Relocation Assistance**

Not every Plant Manager role is the same. Some inherit a fully built operation and simply maintain it. This is not one of those jobs.

This is a rare opportunity to finish building and then scale a manufacturing operation from the inside.

Our client — an innovative U.S. manufacturer of high-performance, biomass-based fuels — has commissioned its first U.S. production facility and needs a hands-on Plant Manager to help take it from start-up mode to full commercial operations.

If you thrive in environments where you can build systems, shape culture, and create structure where little exists, this role offers the chance to truly leave your mark on a facility.

What Makes This Role Different:

Lead the start-up and stabilization of a flagship production facility

Build the operating systems, routines, and processes from scratch

Recruit and develop the plant leadership team

Drive the plant from commissioning into full production

Work directly with executive leadership in a high-visibility role

This is a builder’s role — ideal for someone who enjoys solving problems on the floor, creating structure, and leading a team through the exciting (and sometimes messy) early stages of growth.

The facility is commissioned and entering a critical phase of growth where the company needs a leader who can build the structure, streamline production and create discipline and accountability.

We’re Looking For Someone Who:

• Has strong manufacturing operations leadership experience

• Is comfortable operating in start-up or scaling environments

• Leads from the floor with a hands-on leadership style

• Knows how to build systems, KPIs, and production discipline

• Can develop teams while driving safety, quality, and throughput

Experience in renewable energy, fuels, chemicals, or industrial manufacturing is a plus — but builders with strong plant leadership backgrounds are encouraged to apply.

Compensation: $125K–$140K base + performance bonus (after 12 months)

Location: North Central West Virginia (near Morgantown) – onsite leadership role

Opportunity: Career-defining role helping launch and scale a new facility

If you’re the kind of leader who wants to say “I built that plant” one day — this might be the opportunity.

Location: Hybrid: Los Angeles, Remote: Pacific Time Zone

Department: Game Design

Employment Type: Full-time

About the Role:

Refactor Games is a AAA sports video game studio. We are developing the next generation of professional football (soccer) video games using Unreal Engine 5.

Experience:

• Use Unreal Engine tools (Blueprints and gameplay scripting) to prototype and test gameplay features inside the engine.
• Collaborate with cross-discipline partners (engineering, UX, animation, economy) to implement and polish game mode features.
• Contribute to documentation including design specs, tuning notes, and mode rule definitions.
• Participate in playtests and use feedback and player telemetry to evolve and balance systems.
• Maintain knowledge of contemporary football titles and player expectations to inform mode design.
• Support iteration throughout development, balancing mode depth with accessibility and replayability.

Requirements:

• Familiarity with Unreal Engine 5 workflows, including Blueprints and gameplay implementation.
• Strong understanding of game mode design, progression loops, and player engagement systems.
• Excellent communication skills and ability to collaborate with programmers and other designers.
• Passion for football (soccer) games and appreciation of how different game modes drive engagement.

Bonus Points:

• Experience designing online or competitive game modes, progression systems, or live features.
• Comfortable working with data and telemetry to drive design decisions.
• Familiarity with football culture, leagues, progression expectations, and live content pacing.
• Experience with prototyping tools or scripting languages beyond Blueprints.
• Experience contributing to documentation and tuning spreadsheets.

What We Offer:

• A chance to define cutting-edge football game modes at a AAA level.
• Collaboration with an experienced team across design, UX, engineering, and live ops.
• Competitive salary, and benefits.
• Opportunity for professional growth into senior design roles.
