Shape the future of snacking from the line up

Imagine starting your day on the bakery floor at 7300 S Kedzie Ave, Chicago, IL 60629, where the hum of high-speed equipment meets the pride of crafting beloved brands.

• Lead loss elimination using Total Productive Maintenance and Six Sigma methods, with capability through AM Steps 5–6 and PM Step 3.
• Coach, recognize, and grow your team—recruiting, retaining, developing, and succession-planning while spotting high-potential talent.
• Own the numbers: build budgets, manage costs, uphold governance and compliance, and protect product quality and worker safety.

What you bring

• Proven leadership of line teams; calm, tactful approach to difficult interpersonal situations and experience influencing within a unionized setting.
• Hands-on mastery with Autonomous Maintenance (AM) Step 4 and Progressive/Planned Maintenance (PM) Step 3; capable of maintaining basic conditions independently and executing break-down and planned maintenance standards.
• Applied TPM and Six Sigma tools to drive sustained performance and eliminate losses.
