Make an Impact. Grow Your Career. Lead with Purpose.

Are you a hands-on manufacturing leader ready to make a real difference? Join a company where your voice matters, your ideas drive improvement, and your team feels like family. We’re looking for a Plant Superintendent who’s not just managing operations—but inspiring excellence, building culture, and fueling innovation.

At Intek Plastics, we believe in growing people as much as we grow production. With a commitment to continuous improvement, employee development, and a positive, team-oriented culture, this role is your opportunity to step into a leadership position with real impact—and room to grow.

What You'll Do

As a Plant Superintendent, you'll lead a team of skilled, adaptable employees in a high-performance, safety-first environment. You’ll oversee day-to-day operations and drive improvements that keep us running efficiently and successfully.

  • Lead Operations : Oversee daily plant activities to ensure production goals, quality standards, and timelines are consistently met.
  • Drive Results : Monitor production performance and key metrics—scrap, downtime, efficiency—and implement strategies to optimize them.
  • Empower Your Team : Coach, mentor, and develop a strong team culture that supports learning, accountability, and pride in performance.
  • Collaborate for Success : Partner with Supply Chain, Quality, Maintenance, and other departments to ensure seamless production.
  • Champion Communication : Lead team meetings, provide updates to plant management, and ensure transparency throughout operations.
  • Ensure Compliance & Quality : Maintain safety and quality documentation and uphold the highest production standards.
  • Solve & Improve : Identify equipment issues, waste reduction opportunities, and cost-saving ideas—and lead the charge to make things better.
  • Plan for the Future : Participate in budget planning and long-term strategic improvements to keep us ahead of the curve.

Why You’ll Love It Here

  • People-First Culture : We value respect, collaboration, and transparency. Our leaders support, challenge, and celebrate their teams.
  • Growth Opportunities : From leadership development programs to cross-functional projects, we invest in your career path.
  • Impact-Driven Work : Your ideas and leadership will directly influence our success and help shape the future of our operations.
  • Stability & Innovation : We combine a strong manufacturing foundation with a drive to evolve and improve every day.
