This is a continuous opening and may not represent an immediate vacancy.

Clemens Food Group is building a pipeline of experienced manufacturing leaders interested in future Operations Superintendent opportunities at our flagship Hatfield, PA facility.

Our Hatfield operation is a large, complex food manufacturing environment spanning more than 1 million square feet. Operations Superintendents play a critical leadership role within the facility, with responsibility for large production areas that may include approximately 200 team members and 3–5 front-line supervisors.

While our current and anticipated needs may be concentrated within our Bacon operations, this continuous opening is designed to identify strong leaders for opportunities across our Hatfield manufacturing operation as they become available.

By applying, you'll have the opportunity to connect with our Talent Acquisition team and be considered for Operations Superintendent positions that align with your experience, interests, and shift preferences.

As an Operations Superintendent, you'll provide leadership and direction for a large-scale production operation, leading through front-line supervisors while maintaining strong visibility and connection with team members on the floor.

You'll be accountable for delivering results across Safety, Quality, Service, Cost, and People, balancing the needs of today's operation with the development and improvement required for tomorrow.

• Own operational performance across safety, food safety, quality, service, labor, yield, cost, and productivity.
• Develop your leadership team by coaching supervisors, strengthening accountability, building succession plans, and creating opportunities for team member growth.
• Stay connected to the floor, understanding production challenges firsthand and providing leadership when priorities, staffing, equipment, or schedules change.
• Drive continuous improvement by identifying opportunities to improve throughput, labor utilization, yield, reliability, and overall operating performance.
• Lead through operational challenges with urgency, sound judgment, and a solutions-oriented mindset.
• Build an engaged, accountable culture where team members understand expectations, leaders follow through on commitments, and people are treated with respect.
• Support change and growth, helping introduce new products, processes, equipment, technologies, and ways of working into the operation.

We're looking for experienced operations leaders who know how to deliver results through other leaders, not simply manage the production schedule.

• 8+ years of progressive leadership experience in manufacturing, production, operations, or a similarly complex environment.
• Experience leading large teams and front-line supervisors, ideally within a high-volume manufacturing operation.
• Demonstrated accountability for operational KPIs such as safety, quality, service, labor, yield, productivity, and cost.
• Strong coaching and people-development skills, with the ability to build capable, accountable leadership teams.
• Experience identifying root causes, solving operational problems, and implementing sustainable improvements.
• Strong communication and cross-functional collaboration skills.
• The ability to prioritize and make decisions in a fast-paced environment where conditions can change quickly.
