About The Position

Join a rock-solid, vertically integrated packaging leader with a 90-year legacy of market dominance and massive local expansions. Secure an unmatched regional benefits package: Fully funded pension, up to 7 weeks of vacation, and an elite rotating schedule. This is a privately held, ultra-stable, and vertically integrated packaging manufacturer celebrating over 90 years of continuous market success. With a national footprint of more than 4,200 employees across 36 facilities, we are actively expanding. Following a recent $100 million local facility upgrade, we have officially broken ground on yet another massive plant expansion at this location. We are a company built on long-term growth, and our exceptional employee retention numbers prove that our people choose to plant their roots here for the long haul. This specific opening is a deeply rewarding, people-focused department leadership role. While technical manufacturing knowledge is valuable, your ability to build a cohesive, motivated, and high-performing floor team matters just as much. The total rewards package we provide is genuinely rare in modern manufacturing: up to 7 weeks of annual vacation, a fully company-funded pension plan (fully vested after 5 years), a matching 401(k), premium medical coverage, and exclusive company-sponsored healthcare access. While the rotating 12-hour schedule requires full dedication, it is completely structured and predictable, automatically rewards your weekend blocks with premium pay, and guarantees you a full 6-day mini-vacation every three weeks.

A reliable, long-tenured professional work history. A track record of job-hopping is a disqualifier for this role; we want someone looking to build a long-term home.
Full commitment to a rotating 12-hour day/night shift structure, including alternating weekends.
