**Maintenance Superintendent (2nd Shift)**

**About This Opportunity:**

You’re not just a manager; you’re a leader who thrives when the lights are on and the plant is humming. We’re looking for the operational heartbeat for our 2nd shift—a hands-on leader to guide a team of supervisors, drive excellence, and ensure our Denison facility runs like a well-oiled machine. If you’re energized by solving complex problems, developing talent, and delivering results in a dynamic food manufacturing environment, this is your stage.

Safety is non-negotiable. You’ll develop and champion safety and ergonomic programs, training your team on safe practices, identifying hazards, and relentlessly pursuing an injury-free workplace. You’ll also be the guardian of our quality, upholding stringent sanitation and product standards to comply with both USDA and internal regulations.

A big part of your role is people leadership. You’ll provide strong, daily guidance on the production floor, keeping teams motivated and focused. Through regular line meetings and hands-on coaching, you’ll train supervisors and employees on policies, procedures, and continuous improvement initiatives that boost both team performance and plant efficiency.

**What You Bring:**

* A Bachelor’s Degree and 3+ years of relevant experience, or an equivalent combination of education and hands-on know-how.
* Proven experience as a lead—training, coaching, or mentoring others, or managing critical processes and projects.
* A required background in food manufacturing, with a strong preference for experience in meat processing or harvest/kill floor environments.
* Direct technical experience working with PLCs and Ammonia Refrigeration systems.
* Proficiency with key computer applications, including time-keeping systems, SAP, and the Microsoft Office suite.
* A willingness to travel up to 10% of the time.

**Location & Compensation:**
