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.
