Skills & Keywords

operations managementshift supervisionmanufacturing processessafety leadership

Primary responsibilities include

Own safety performance for the assigned area, setting the expectation through daily presence on the floor and through how issues are raised, investigated, and closed.
Supervise a production or shift team, holding accountability for staffing, coaching, performance conversations, and day-to-day execution against the schedule.
Learn the site's manufacturing processes in depth, developing the technical fluency needed to make sound operating decisions and to earn the confidence of experienced operators.
Lead or contribute to engineering and continuous improvement projects that run alongside daily supervisory responsibilities.
Take on a second assignment in process engineering, supply chain, maintenance, quality, continuous improvement, or EHS, applying the same ownership to a functional or cross-site problem.
Present an annual report out at the Operations Managers Meeting, building exposure to plant management beyond the assignment site.
Participate in campus recruiting alongside the Early Talent Program, representing Hydrite to the next group of candidates.
Work with Human Resources and the Operations VP on assignment progress, future interests, and open roles, so that the permanent placement is built deliberately rather than by default.

PREFERRED EXPERIENCE

A bachelor’s degree in engineering, chemistry, supply chain, or a general business discipline.
Prior leadership experience through an internship, co-op, military service, or a previous role is strongly preferred, since the program opens in a supervisory seat.
Open to new graduates and to current Hydrite employees moving into operations leadership.
Credibility with a plant floor team: sound judgment under pressure, willingness to be present on off shifts, and the ability to hold a standard without losing the room.
Willingness to relocate. Relocation significantly expands opportunity both during the program and after it, and the program is open to every Hydrite manufacturing site.
Travel of 10 to 25 percent is expected.
