Plant Director

JOB DESCRIPTION

As our Plant Director, you will manage plant operations by overseeing scheduling, manpower, and machinery to meet customer requirements. You will develop and control costs within budget, implement programs to achieve corporate safety goals, and ensure compliance with local, state, and federal requirements. Additionally, you will facilitate and commercialize new processes, materials, and products through plant facility equipment.

Solving challenges is the very foundation of who we are. Our founder, sea captain Robert Fergusson, didn't particularly care about paint when he founded our company in 1921; he just wanted to keep his ship intact and stumbled upon a valuable solution. Today, that discovery is Rust-Oleum Corporation.

The same passion that drove the Captain to create the world's first rust-preventative paint still drives us today. We work diligently until we've perfected a solution, leading to some of the most cutting-edge, durable, and innovative products in the industry. Our creative and talented team of over 2000 people across the globe helps us remain the global leader in protective paints and coatings for both home and industry.
