This is an opportunity to join a massive, privately held, multi-billion dollar packaging manufacturer that has operated for decades with unmatched organizational stability. Having recently completed a $100M facility expansion with additional growth currently underway, this site represents a deep, long-term commitment to its Wisconsin operations.

This is a career-defining leadership track designed for a professional who respects the structure of a union environment and wants a total compensation package that is virtually unmatched in the Midwest. Managing a dedicated shift of 25 to 30 hourly employees within a high-speed coating department, you will bridge the gap between daily throughput goals and long-term continuous improvement. It is the ideal setup for a stable leader who wants to plant deep roots in a modern, expanding facility where employee investments come first and average professional tenures are measured in decades.
