Production Manager
About The Position
Mission Linen Supply is seeking an experienced Production Manager to exercise planning authority, organizing, directing, and controlling all production functions and activities within an assigned work crew, in conjunction with the direction of the General Manager. This role requires hands-on experience in the textile-rental industry or a related manufacturing industry, plus strong knowledge of industrial laundry operations and linen products and services. We're looking for proven production leaders who already understand how an industrial plant runs and are ready to take ownership of one. If you're looking for a stable industry with real, ongoing leadership opportunities, this role is built for that. Mission Linen Supply is a family-owned, privately held company and a leading provider of linen, uniform, and facility service products across five western states. Founded in 1930 and headquartered in Santa Barbara, CA, Mission has grown from a one-man operation into an industry leader, while remaining stable, essential, and steadily growing. Industrial laundry and linen services are a recession-resistant, essential industry. Hospitals, hotels, and restaurants need clean linens and uniforms regardless of the economy. That means real, ongoing opportunities for career advancement, not a static org chart.
