About The Client
A large, well-established food and beverage manufacturer with a national footprint and a portfolio of nationally recognized consumer brands. Thousands of employees across more than a dozen U.S. production sites. This is one of their largest beverage facilities.
The Role
Own daily manufacturing operations for an extra-large beverage plant. You partner directly with the Senior Plant Director, lead the business unit leaders, and carry accountability for output, cost, safety, and quality.
This is a build-the-culture role as much as a run-the-plant role. The site runs a formal integrated work system and needs a leader who can drive accountability against it rather than simply administer around it.
Key Responsibilities
Lead short and medium term production strategy to optimize labor, materials, and workflow
Drive accountability and cultural change through a structured integrated work system
Monitor and improve plant performance across safety, quality, cost, delivery, engagement, and environmental metrics
Provide direction across production, packaging, processing, planning, and purchasing
Manage operational budgets, cost controls, and P&L
Partner with HR on hiring, performance, and employee relations in a union environment
Oversee capital project planning and execution
Ensure compliance with GMP, AIB, FDA, ISO, safety, and food quality standards
Qualifications
Must Have
10+ years of production management experience in high-speed food, beverage, or CPG manufacturing
Hands-on deployment of a structured continuous improvement methodology: IWS, Lean, or TPM. Actual implementation, not classroom exposure.
Consumer packaging experience
Demonstrated budget, cost management, and P&L ownership
Experience leading in a union environment
Able to support a 24/7 operation, including day or night shift coverage and occasional weekends
Preferred
2+ years of aseptic and extended shelf life (ESL) processing experience
Bachelor's degree in engineering, business, or food science
Client name disclosed on qualified submittal.
Why Is This a Great Opportunity
A large, nationally recognized food and beverage manufacturer is hiring an Operations Director for its extra-large beverage plant in the DFW metro. This is a senior plant leadership role reporting to the Senior Plant Director, with seven direct reports and full accountability for safety, quality, cost, and delivery across a 24/7 union operation. Ideal for a plant or production leader from high-speed food, beverage, or CPG manufacturing who has deployed IWS, Lean, or TPM and owned a P&L.
