Job Description & How to Apply Below
SAPL Pets is setting up a multi-format pet food manufacturing plant in Kishangarh (near Ajmer/Jaipur), Rajasthan. Our production line arrives in the coming weeks and we already have private-label and marketplace-scale demand confirmed. We're hiring one person to own manufacturing and supply end to end, from commissioning the line to shipping finished goods reliably at volume.
This is a build-from-zero role, not a role managing an existing line. If you've stood in an empty shed and turned crated machines into a running plant, this is for you.
What you'll own:
Commissioning the extrusion, drying, and packaging line from installation to stable production
Building the raw material pipeline, stores, and vendor base from scratch
Recruiting, training, and running the shop floor; setting SOPs and production discipline
Owning output, cost, yield, and on-time dispatch targets
Driving FSSAI, HACCP, and ISO 22000 readiness and batch traceability
What we're looking for:
8+ years in food or feed manufacturing, with at least one plant commissioned from zero (not just operated)
Deep hands-on extrusion experience. Backgrounds in aqua feed (floating fish feed), cattle/poultry feed milling, or snack/namkeen extrusion are equally welcome; the process fundamentals are the same and we'll teach the pet-specific part
Strong grasp of the full line, including the reality that drying and cooling, not the extruder, set your true throughput
Proven ownership of production output, cost control, and dispatch
Comfortable leading a Tier-2 shop floor and building a lean team
Willing to be based in or relocate to the Kishangarh/Ajmer/Jaipur belt
Nice to have:
Direct pet food experience
Exposure to wet/retort processing, treats, or biscuit lines
Experience with export or private-label/OEM manufacturing
The honest version: This is an early-stage plant in a Tier-2 town with an Airport and a very good lifestyle. The first few months are build-and-ramp, not push-button production. In return you get a co-founder-grade seat, real ownership, direct reporting to the founder, and a competitive package with performance-linked upside and ESOP.
