Manager
. Located in the Little Rock region, this role will lead all things technical at the manufacturing plant: maintenance, facilities, and all engineering and capital project oversight.

There are many ongoing efforts and needs and a primary one will be to assess, edit, and implement an improved preventive maintenance program.
Additionally, the organization is highly people and floor-focused, and therefore it is not a desk job.

In short, the Plant Manager is looking for the right combo of being professional and also not afraid to get in the mix and actually get their hands dirty.
With multiple manufacturing sites across their footprint, this would provide a great opportunity to develop and grow beyond this role. It is a privately held company that continues to invest in its equipment and people!
