**About This Opportunity**
If you’re the kind of leader who thrives on the plant floor—not just in a corner office—this role is built for you. We’re looking for an Operations Manager to take the helm at a small, tight-knit chemical facility in New Orleans. This isn’t about managing from a distance; it’s about rolling up your sleeves, working shoulder-to-shoulder with your team, and setting the standard for safety and performance. You’ll have real ownership of the site, real support from a regional manager, and a company that’s been rock-solid for over 80 years—no layoffs, ever. If you’re ready to lead with presence and purpose, keep reading.

**What You’ll Do**
You’ll be the on-site leader for a team of about 10 people, responsible for everything from daily operations to long-term safety culture. Your days will be a mix of strategic oversight and hands-on leadership. You will:

- Drive a high-performance, high-safety environment by being visible and engaged on the floor every day
- Manage all site operations, including production, inventory, and compliance with DOT and TCEQ regulations
- Lead by example in Process Safety Management (PSM)—your experience here will be a major asset
- Work directly with hourly personnel to solve problems, improve processes, and maintain a zero-incident mindset
- Report to a regional manager with minimal travel required (this is a local, grounded role)
- Participate in a 10-week management training course designed to sharpen your leadership toolkit

**What You Bring**
You’re not just a manager—you’re a leader who’s been in the chemical industry long enough to know the stakes. You bring:

- 6+ years of experience, with a strong leadership background (previous management is non-negotiable)
- A background in chemicals—ideally chemical distribution or a similar environment
- Process Safety Management (PSM) experience—this is a huge plus and will set you apart
- Solid understanding of DOT and TCEQ regulations
- A hands-on, approachable style—you’re as comfortable on the floor as you are in a planning meeting

**Why This Role Stands Out**
This isn’t just another job. This is a place where stability isn’t a buzzword—it’s a fact. The company has never had layoffs in 80+ years. And they back that up with real investment in you:

- **Compensation:** $90,000 – $110,000 per year
- **Healthcare:** Free employee medical and dental (low premiums for family members)
- **Retirement:** 4% 401K match
- **Tuition Reimbursement:** Up to $10,000 per year—new program, real opportunity
- **Bonus:** Targets that can stretch to 2x
