The Starbucks Roasting Plants have a dedicated team of professional roasters and supporting process teams including planning, warehouse management, packaging, roasting, maintenance, engineering, and logistics. As a plant lead, you will assist the supervisor in day-to-day operations, prepare for and execute routine shift procedures, and serve as an escalation resource for problems and issues that arise during your assigned shift. You will also audit your assigned functional area daily to ensure attainment of product quality, inventory accuracy, and customer service standards. You will lead and carry out daily manufacturing, distribution, or green coffee operations tasks, ensuring the team attains daily productivity goals. Maintaining a safe, clean, and organized work environment is crucial, as is providing training and coaching to team members on standard operating procedures, quality, and safety procedures and regulations. You will also recommend process improvements, support process and business changes, and may create staffing schedules and communicate with temporary staffing agencies. Reviewing line communication boards for Continuous Improvement suggestions and entering work orders into the maintenance tracking system are also part of the role. You will review and update Kronos to ensure partner timesheets are accurate. Demonstrating and understanding safety as a core value, following key safety essentials, and reinforcing and coaching others to do the same is paramount. You must understand and follow established safety guidelines and consistently comply with all safety procedures (e.g., PPE, Lock Out Tag Out). Acting as a safety change agent (e.g., CPR/First Aid certification; active engagement in safety committee, driving safety initiatives for the department) is expected. You will support food safety, legality, and quality programs, and maintain product quality through adherence to good manufacturing practices, Food Safety Preventative Controls, product specifications, and quality procedures. Performing other duties as needed in support of business objectives and Starbucks Mission & Values, and maintaining regular and consistent attendance and punctuality are also required.
